The website of ALMA, a museum and library located in Watertown, Massachusetts, and dedicated to Armenian life and culture, provides information about its collections and services. An online catalog of its holdings is now in preparation.OVERVIEW
Some excerpts from these rare recordings may be heard by visitors to the website of the Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance (ADAA) at www.armeniandrama.org, where the recordings are now available to inspire new generations of writers and playwrights.
Oriental Rug Research Library
The Library is home to the Herbert Offen Oriental Carpet Research Library Collection, one of the most extensive collections of literature on oriental carpets in the United States. The Offen Family's generous gift includes both the books in the Herbert Offen Collection, as well as funding of acquisitions of new, recently published and antiquarian works related to the literature of rugs and carpets.
The Herbert Offen collection of over 2,500 volumes extends beyond the narrow focus on the types and development of Oriental rugs, and encompasses broader issues including the social implications of rug collecting, symbolism and theory, care and aesthetics, the commercial marketing and business of rugs, economic and domestic structures in carpet production, historical and contemporary use of rugs, and other textile traditions closely related to rugs. The research library includes all published works related to Armenian rugs, as well as extensive range of works on all genres or rugs of the Middle East and related artistic traditions. The collection is also home to many rare works of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when oriental rug studies was starting to emerge as a distinct discipline.
