    The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Archives Institute
    announced last week that it has received a $50,000 grant from
    world-renowned Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, based in Lisbon,
    Portugal. The grant will fund the upgrade and advancement of the
    institute's technological capabilities, which will greatly enhance
    the activities of the organization..

    In thanking the Armenian division of the Gulbenkian Foundation, ARF
    Archives Institute director Vatche Proodian and publications director
    Yervant Pamboukian have welcomed the grant, emphasizing the important
    role Gulbenkian Armenian Division director Zaven Yegavian has played
    in the preservation of Armenian culture and national ideals.

    The archives institute leaders have singled out Yegavian's important
    role in garnering financial assistance to Armenian national and
    cultural institutions, expressing hope that similar programs will
    continue in the future.

    The ARF Archives Institute was founded in July 2008 with the mission to
    categorize and process the archives through technologically advanced
    methods, prepare them for publication, and make them available for
    academic research in an internationally accepted manner. The archives
    are currently being digitized.
