Genocide Museum-Institute to Collect Testimonies of Displaced Persons from Artsakh

As part of the competition for the modernization of the material and technical base of the scientific subdivisions of the RA Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports, funding has been approved for the application submitted by the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute’s Documentation and Research Division for the victims and survivors of the Armenian Genocide. Within the scope of this funding, it is planned to acquire 27 different devices.

The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute reports that this project, aimed at equipping the museum-institute with modern technical tools, will allow for:

• A. The revitalization of the subfield of Oral History.
• B. Ongoing collection and research of oral histories from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations of victims and survivors of the Armenian Genocide for the intended enhancement of the relevant database.
• C. The more systematic and organized conduct of field and fact-finding work, which requires quality audio and video recording, processing, and storage of these valuable data.
• D. Collection and research of testimonies from forcibly displaced Armenians from Artsakh, which could contribute not only to scientific research but also to legal proceedings.

As a result of the implementation of the project, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute will have the opportunity to enhance the visibility of scientific research, promote collaboration with educational organizations and individual researchers both in Armenia and abroad. The project will also contribute to the implementation of the educational and cultural programs of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute.
