Adventures in Preservation (AiP), in partnership with the Kumayri
Museum-Preserve, offers the opportunity to explore Armenia while
helping to boost its heritage tourism economy.  Gyumri, devastated
by the damaging Spitak earthquake in 1988, is still recovering, and
its unique historic buildings require urgent attention.  Volunteers
will work to evaluate and ensure the longevity of a number of the
city's 1,200 endangered structures identified as historically and
culturally significant.  Hands-on work will include essential
documentation: taking measurements and photographs; drawing; and
gathering written and verbal data.  Participants will acquire
hands-on research and documentation skills during their first eight
days in Armenia, and will spend the final four touring the country
with Travel Gyumri.

For further information on this chance to preserve Armenia's
historic built environment and to experience Gyumri and the country
beyond, contact us at trips<-at->adventuresinpreservation<.>org
