AGBU Young Professionals of Los Angeles Donate $10,000 to Armenian
Genocide Museum & Institute in Yerevan
Los Angeles - Genocide researchers and museum visitors will now have
access to more valuable historic artifacts and materials, thanks in part
to a $10,000 gift by the AGBU Young Professionals of Los Angeles (YPLA)
to the Armenian Genocide Museum & Institute (www.genocide-museum.am) in
Yerevan, Armenia.
"When we learned that a recent collection of historically valuable
materials was added to the museum, including nineteenth- and
twentieth-century documents, photographs, coins and rare books, through
a donation from Europe, we were inspired to make a lasting donation to
further enrich this collection," says current AGBU YPLA Chair Narine
Zardarian. The $10,000 gift from the YPLA Committee will allow the
Institute to add to its collection, which is an invaluable archive for
historians and researchers. Some of the new purchases will be displayed
as part of the museum's permanent collection. All materials purchased
with the AGBU YPLA donation will be listed in the Yerevan Genocide
Museum's catalogue for researchers, as the "AGBU YPLA Collection." A
successful series of well-attended professional networking events,
signature weekend getaways and social events allowed YPLA to make the
donation to the Armenian Genocide Museum.
The mission of the Museum-Institute is the academic and scientific
study, analysis of the problems, as well as exhibition of the textual
and visual documentation related to the Armenian Genocide. Collections
such as the AGBU YPLA Collection are developed to contribute to the
effective cooperation and collaboration among organizations worldwide,
which are involved in the research of genocide, particularly the
Armenian Genocide. "Genocide recognition is important to all of
humanity. Any contribution we can make to the cause is valuable,"
Zardarian said.
Established in 1906, AGBU (www.agbu.org) is the world's largest
non-profit Armenian organization. Headquartered in New York City, AGBU
preserves and promotes the Armenian identity and heritage through
educational, cultural and humanitarian programs, annually touching the
lives of some 400,000 Armenians on six continents.
