About Armenian Heritage Map

We are building the world's most comprehensive open-source spatial archive of Armenian civilization — accessible, immersive, and community-driven.

Our Mission

To preserve, document, and share Armenian heritage through an open-source, interactive map that connects history, geography, and culture across time and space.

We safeguard Armenian memory by transforming history, sacred sites, and lived experience into a living, explorable map for future generations.

Our Vision

To become the global digital reference for Armenian history and culture, ensuring no Armenian place, story, or monument is forgotten or erased.

We envision a future where Armenian heritage is permanently preserved in the digital realm, accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.

The Challenge

Fragmented Heritage

Armenian heritage sites are geographically fragmented, politically threatened, or destroyed. Important cultural landmarks face ongoing risks of erasure.

Scattered Information

Information exists across books, archives, museums, oral histories, and Wikipedia, but is not spatially connected or easily accessible.

Limited Access

Younger generations and the diaspora lack experiential access to Armenian history and cannot easily explore their heritage.

No Unified Platform

There is no authoritative, open, spatial platform dedicated specifically to Armenian heritage and history.

Our Solution

An interactive 2D and 3D map that serves as a Wikipedia-meets-Google-Earth-meets-metaverse archive of Armenian civilization.

  • Churches and monasteries
  • Khachkars and stone crosses
  • Ancient settlements and capitals
  • Cultural landmarks and monuments
  • Genocide and historical event locations
  • Diaspora communities and hubs
  • Destroyed, endangered, and lost sites

Each Location Includes

  • Rich historical context and timeline
  • Photos, documents, and 3D reconstructions
  • Scholarly citations and sources
  • Community contributions and stories
  • Multilingual content support
  • Interactive media and virtual tours

Our Core Principles

The fundamental values that guide everything we do

Open-Source & Decentralized

Knowledge belongs to the people. Our platform is built openly, transparently, and is owned by the community.

Historically Rigorous

Every entry is built on citations, scholarly review, and transparency. We prioritize accuracy and academic integrity.

Spatial Truth

History is grounded in geography. We connect stories to authentic locations and spatial relationships.

Community-Powered

Scholars, locals, and the diaspora contribute their knowledge, stories, and expertise to this collective endeavor.

Future-Facing

Designed for the web, extended reality, and the metaverse. We build for tomorrow's technologies today.

Preservation Focus

Counter-erasure through documented truth and digital preservation. We ensure heritage survives beyond physical threats.

Our Impact

Building a lasting legacy for Armenian culture and heritage

Cultural Preservation

Permanent digital preservation of Armenian heritage that cannot be destroyed, censored, or erased by political or natural forces.

Educational Resource

A comprehensive educational tool for schools, universities, and researchers studying Armenian history and culture.

Diaspora Connection

A cultural anchor for Armenian diaspora communities worldwide, helping maintain connection to ancestral heritage.

Global Model

A replicable model for other endangered cultures and communities seeking to preserve their heritage digitally.

Join Our Mission

If history can be erased on the ground, it must be preserved in digital space. A people remembered is a people that survives.

Help us map Armenia so it can never disappear.
