Project SAVE Armenian Photograph Archives

Founded in 1975 by Ruth Thomasian, Project Save began as a grassroots effort to document the stories of elderly Armenian immigrants through photographs. Over five decades, the organization amassed more than 100,000 original images from Armenian families and communities around the world, depicting daily life, world events, religious ceremonies and visits with political leaders, artists, writers and freedom fighters. Arto Vaun became Project Save’s executive director in 2021 and led the acquisition of Project Save’s first public home, complete with offices, climate-controlled storage and gallery space.
