About

This exhibit was curated by Mary Lasley, a senior English major at the University of Connecticut. This fall, Mary participated in Prof. Catherine Masud's Human Rights Archives I class, in which students conducted, filmed, and recorded interviews with members of the Armenian community in Connecticut. The items that compose this exhibit were generously shared with the class by Sarah Anderson, Jennie Garabedian, and Mari Firkatian. All quotes cited in the exhibit are sourced from the interviews. Mary would like to again offer her thanks to all the community members for their time, stories, and artifacts, and to Professor Masud for her excellent guidance.
