The "Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute" Foundation (AGMI), having been recognised as a collection partner within the famework of the co-operation agreement reached between it and the University of Southern California, on behalf of its USC Shoah Foundation - The Institute for Visual History and Education (USC SF), in October 2022, may freely access its USC SF Visual History Archive from now on.
AGMI employees may, from now on, use the rich archive of the Shoah Foundation, where thousands of video recordings of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide and other genocides and mass murders are collected, without restriction. This archive also includes the collection of oral histories of the Armenian Genocide (more than 1,000 video recordings of Armenian Genocide survivors) created by Richard Hovhannisyan and which will, at his suggestion and agreement, be made available to the AGMI after their complete restoration and digitization.
The AGMI will in its turn, provide opportunities for those museums, scientific and educational circles in Armenia that would like to become acquainted with and use the Visual History Archive of the Shoah Foundation, to do so by visiting the AGMI’s reading room.
