“Its mission is to collect, document, preserve, and present”. Where is the “present” part of Project Save’s claimed mission? 40 years worth of donations in objects and funds amounts to 35 photos on Flickr, a free hosting website, and that’s it? Or is Project Save’s “present” function limited to producing fundraising calendars in order to fundraise enought to produce even more fundraising calendars? Meanwhile, valuable artefacts are permanently taken out of circulation, removed from the collective community where they could have been seen, preserved, appreciated, and studied, and buried inside Project Save’s archives, lost to public access forever.
I couldn’t be more surprise with the similarity (nanes and work) between John Kebabdjian and Jean Claude Kebadjian, Project SAVE and Ovenk.fr.
Accross the Atlantic in Paris, France, my brother Jean-Claude Kebabdjian, Director and founder of CRDA (Recherche Center of Armenian Diaspora) and now “Ovenk.fr” has dedicated his entire life to save and preserve Armenian photograghs and archives. Keeping in mind that the Centenial is approching, I invite all readers and recherchers to check “Ovenk.fr”. I also, wonder if Mr. Jean Kebadjian is a distant relation of ours?
