Mission
To research, preserve, and document Armenian historical monuments and cultural heritage, regardless of their physical location, and disseminate that information as a national survival tool for the generations to come.
Main Goals
The main goals of the organization are:
- Research and archive any undocumented information about our historical architecture and cultural heritage located in the neighboring countries of Armenia in particular, and in Armenia and other countries in general.
- Renovate and preserve endangered Armenian cultural monuments regardless of their location, whenever possible, within the limitations of the RAA resources, either directly or by the cooperation and financial support of the Armenian Government and Church, other organizations, and entities, or concerned individuals.
- Convert the existing archives and document the results of our new expeditions in digitized format using the latest technological tools and products, to secure their permanent preservation and ease of dissemination.
- Publish the archives and disseminate them in the traditional publishing, as well as state-of-the-art media formats, including WWW. This includes publication of traditional books, brochures, maps, calendars, special issues, monthly and quarterly newsletters, as well as electronic books, 3D/CAD virtual reconstruction of historical monuments, documentary films, presentations, etc.
- Train and prepare required manpower cadres and resources to secure the continuation of RAA activities.
