Preserving the global Armenian experience through photography

We safeguard the past to illuminate the present & help build a brighter future.

50th Anniversary in 2025

Since 1975, we have been preserving and sharing meaningful photographs to over 500,000 people.

155 years of history

Our collections span from the 1830s to the 1990s and across six continents.

Over 80,000 Photographs

Photographs are physically stored in our archives. We also have a new location and visiting hours.
