For the 18th year, Project SAVE Armenian Photograph Archives is publishing its calendar, titled Armenian Families in the Ottoman Empire before 1915. In commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the Genocide, Project SAVE’s calendar is a unique learning experience.
From its vast collections of over 25,000 images, Project SAVE Archives staff made a special effort to select families from a variety of professions and types of communities (city, town, village, sophisticated or not). Included are the faces of 20 Armenian families living in the late 19th and early 20th centuries throughout the vast area of the Ottoman Empire including not only places in Historic Armenia, but also in what is today Bulgaria, Egypt, Greece and Romania.
Special attention was given to researching what each family was doing before 1915; during the Genocide, which started in 1915 and continued through 1923; and what happened to family members who survived the Genocide.
The public can order calendars by mail or in person in time for Christmas giving. For more information, check out www.projectsave.org; call Arpie at Project SAVE, 617-923-4542; or e-mail archives@projectsave.org. Also inquire about wholesale orders to benefit your favorite nonprofit organization.
Calendars can also be purchased in person at the Archives, starting with the Project SAVE Open House on Sunday, Dec. 12, 1-5 p.m., and during the weeks until Christmas, same hours or by appointment. Project SAVE staff will assist you and give you a “tour” of the archives.
As in the past, one calendar is $15 plus postage and handling (plus 5 percent sales tax for Massachusetts residents). Two or more calendars sent to the same address cost $12.50 each plus postage and handling (and 5 percent sales tax for residents).
