Yerevan (Yerkir) – Following the decisions of the past ARF conventions,
ARF Archives Institute has been established to maintain and classify
the 118-years old archives of the party.
A serious work has been accomplished in recent years and five volumes
have been published until now under the title of "Materials for
ARF History." The volumes include the period between 1890 and 1907,
including the materials of the four general conventions.
Vache Brutian, who had been the editor of the Asbarez for a year, has
been appointed the director of the archives. He said the digitalization
of the archives would be a priority. Eventually, the archival materials
existing until now would be classified too.
Those materials include a copy of the first publication of the
ARF Manifesto, letters by the ARF founders, records of general
conventions, legal documents, maps. The institute has its web site:
The office is situated at ARF Archives Institute 420 Washington Blvd.,
Montebello, CA 90640.
