 One of the basic statutory tasks of the Foundation for the Culture andHeritage of Polish Armenians in Warsaw, established in 2006, is to save the materialheritage of Polish Armenians. Its collection, mainly originating from Armenianchurches in the former Eastern Borderlands, consists of a large archive of parishdocuments, record books, parchments, manuscripts, old prints, books, magazines, photographs, icons and liturgical paraments. This resource was moved to Polandwithin its new borders after the end of World War II, thanks to the efforts of priestsand parishioners. The Foundation, in 14 years of its activity, has ordered and inventoriedthese resources. They are made available at the Foundation’s seat, as well asin the Virtual Archive of Polish Armenians and through the public platform www.szukajwarchiwach.pl.
