The National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) is thrilled to announce that the Mass Cultural Council, in partnership with MassDevelopment, has awarded NAASR a $100,000 capital grant and a $7,000 Systems Replacement Plan grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund. This funding will go toward final construction costs and measures for protections against covid-19 in NAASR’s new

Vartan Gregorian Building, which preserves NAASR’s 31,000-volume, rare book Armenian Studies library and serves as a research center and community gathering place.

We are deeply grateful to the Mass Cultural Council Cultural Facilities Fund, MassDevelopment and Governor Charlie Baker for supporting cultural institutions so generously to benefit the entire state.
