Mark your diaries for the following events:

Treasured Objects: Armenian Life in the Ottoman Empire 100 Years Ago

Edited by Vazken Khatchig Davidian, Susan Paul Pattie and Gagik Stepan-Sarkissian. Published by the Armenian Institute.

The stuff of memory and forgetting, the objects portrayed within and their journeys combine narrative, image, and historical context through the stories handed down to their present owners. These Treasured Objects came together first as an exhibition of household items that had accompanied “their” families in the great dispersion of Armenians from their historic homelands. Some escaped earlier but many belong to survivors of the Genocide of 1915 or the destruction of Smyrna (Izmir) in 1922
.



An exciting and richly illustrated book for children about Armenian history and culture, created by the Armenian Institute.  CD is included with music and spoken word. 
An ideal gift for children aged 8 to 80.
The book is available through the Armenian Institute, priced at £12 (+£2.50 for UK postage and handling).
