Check out the ARISC funded project, the Other Yerevan website by Diana Ter-Ghazaryan and Sarhat Petrosyan. https://otheryerevan.am/en/ The team developed an interactive map with photos and information on historic and culturally significant buildings of downtown Yerevan, Armenia, whether still standing, endangered, or demolished. There’s even a self-guided walking tour! Thanks to ARISC support, this information is available to the public for free!

What does ARISC do?
“ARISC acts as a force for good by fostering academic connection and understanding in a very important part of the world that is critically under-researched. By creating and funding projects that increase communication between scholars, students and citizens of the US with the South Caucasian countries of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, ARISC enhances understanding of the region and contributes to peace and stability.” – aoldfield (Source: GreatNonProfits.org)Did you know that the 130 fellowships and grants awarded by ARISC since 2010 have resulted in over 244 presentations, 75 publications, 3 websites, and 12 exhibits? ARISC funds unique proposals across various disciplines – anthropology, archaeology, ethnomusicology, geology, history, literature, geography, sociology, political science, and linguistics – to name a few. ARISC supports scholars doing innovative research in the South Caucasus thru fellowships, workshops, lectures. See what people are saying about us at GreatNonProfits.org“ARISC-funded research has contributed to my research in three major ways, at least: (1) It helped me build a profile as an international scholar, with a focus on research both inside and outside of my home country, the U.S., which helped garner interest from foreign scholars to work with me; (2) It reinforced and firmly established my interest in completing additional work in the South Caucasus, especially Azerbaijan, and, in fact, I am still planning the opportunity for most robust study there; (3) it exposed me to the greater network of CAORC, providing opportunities for me to work in places outside of the South Caucasus as well.”
