Archive & Library discovery day with the Armenian Institute
April 30, 2024 @ 11:30 am - 3:00 pm
Join us for an Archive Discovery Day with the Armenian Institute, organised as part of the Genocidal Captivity exhibition events series.
Discover and explore a wealth of resources, titles, online access to video testimonies, references, and books in different languages, all in the heart of London, to support your studies and research projects. Focus on histories of peoples and genocide, and see how memory is preserved for future generations in these two original institutions. Open in priority to postgraduate students.
