Open community project

Every Armenian trace has a story. Help map them all.

Armenian Traces helps you find Armenian history wherever you travel — churches, memorials, food, people and their stories, on one community-built map of the world.

The idea

History you can stand in, written by travelers like you

Armenian history is scattered across dozens of countries — in archives, cemeteries, old churches and family kitchens. Each trace on the map is ordinary evidence of a whole life lived together. No single institution could catalogue all of it. A community can.

1

Find a trace

Open the map anywhere in the world and see the Armenian traces around you — churches, monuments, food, people and their stories.

2

Learn the story

Every trace carries its history: records, dates and context, written so a traveler can stand in the place and understand what happened there.
