The team is proud to have obtained funding for the Voices of Armenia in Montréal, in partnership with the vocal ensemble Les Rugissants, following the ARCHES: présence arménienne series presented this spring. Following the advisory committee’s reviews, Digital Museums Canada has selected 19 new online projects developed as part of the 2025 call for proposals.

Voices of Armenia in Montréal highlights the history, culture and heritage of the Armenian community in the city. Through oral testimonies, 360° tours, visual archives, and original musical clips, the project reveals the richness of a heritage that has been too-little documented.

Organized into five thematic chapters (community history, iconic places, voices and memories, urban roots, and musical heritage), the narrative explores how Armenians have shaped their presence in Montréal for over a century.

Produced by Héritage Montréal, in collaboration with the professional vocal ensemble Les Rugissants for the musical portion, this project offers a sensitive encounter with the people, places and traditions that make up this living culture. Through its accessible, multimedia approach, this exhibition offers a documentary, human and artistic exploration of a heritage that is essential to Montréal’s cultural landscape.
