The US Embassy announces the completion of $30,000 worth of renovations
to the National Cinematheque of Armenia. This project has allowed
the Cinematheque to create a climate-controlled space to preserve
its collection of over 270,000 Armenian films, audio recordings,
and photos. The Cinematheque is the only existing collection of
Armenia's film heritage, and houses the first Armenian silent film,
rare musical recordings, and historically significant Armenian photos.
The US Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation, through which
the US Government provided the funding, works worldwide to assist
countries in preserving museum collections, ancient and historic
sites and traditional forms of expression. This program strives to
help preserve the cultural heritage of countries throughout the world
by providing small grants to support heritage preservation. Since
its creation in 2001, this program has supported almost 300 projects
worldwide, totaling $6.7 million.
