Preserving Family History

Genealogy has become popular in recent years largely because of databases like Ancestry.com, as well as DNA testing kits and groups like the Armenian DNA Project. Before you can type your family name into Google, though, there has to be a record of your family’s existence. Over the years, some families have donated papers and collections to the Armenian Museum that provide a glimpse into their family history. In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian discusses materials we have preserved from one family and the stories they tell.
