The Center for Lowell History is proud to announce the publication of a new digital exhibit. Drawn from our International Institute of Lowell Collection the exhibit titled, "The Armenian Community of Lowell" tells the stories of four Armenian families who fled the Armenian genocide and eventually made Lowell home.

These stories cover a wide range of immigrant and refugee experiences and highlight the struggles, hope, mass amounts of paperwork, pain, shifting laws and expectations, and resilience that has long been part of the immigrant experience. We hope highlighting the stories of these four families and the real people behind the history will lead to a deeper understanding of Armenian and broader immigrant stories.
