The Armenian Historical Association of Rhode Island (AHARI) is dedicated to those Armenian immigrants and refugees who settled in Rhode Island and contributed directly to their new state and country. We see this as a way to express our gratitude to our ancestors. Our aim is to establish a vital avenue of information for our descendants and fellow Rhode Islanders about the heritage of the Armenians.

Our permanent exhibit Rhode Island Armenians: Rediscovering the Past and Looking to the Future was designed and curated in collaboration with Dr. Hayk Demoyan, PhD and his wife Lucine Matevosian, graphic designer.

The AHARI Museum's permanent exhibit shows the Armenian's immigration journey to Rhode Island with informational panels and artifacts.

Links to the left show the many informative panels from this exhibit.
