Collecting and Preserving Traumatic Histories: Archivists in Conversation

Archivists and curators from Holocaust Museum LA and the Armenian American Museum and Cultural Center of California, come together to reflect on how cultural institutions care for and manage materials connected to histories of genocide, trauma, and cultural erasure. Each museum holds collections rooted in distinct communities and narratives, but they share common challenges in preserving and interpreting these powerful, often painful artifacts.

Holocaust Museum LA continues its mission to commemorate those who perished, honor those who survived, educate about the Holocaust and inspire a more dignified and humane world.

The Armenian American Museum and Cultural Center of California aims to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Armenian American experience.
