Tigrai is more than a region—it is a living archive of civilizations, struggles, and sacred traditions that span thousands of years. From its rock-hewn churches to ancient manuscripts and oral histories passed through generations, Tigrai holds a unique position in the cultural and historical landscape of Africa.
At the Historical Society of Behare Haguere Tigrai, our mission is simple yet profound: to protect, document, and celebrate this rich legacy.
Why Preservation Matters
In an age of globalization and rapid change, our heritage faces threats from conflict, neglect, and the passage of time. If we do not preserve it today, we risk losing invaluable knowledge forever. By safeguarding Tigrai’s stories, structures, and symbols, we pass on identity, pride, and purpose to future generations.
Our Work
From collecting historical manuscripts to documenting oral traditions and restoring heritage sites, the Historical Society is committed to preserving Tigrai’s past through research, community engagement, and education. We aim to build a digital and physical archive accessible to scholars, students, and global citizens alike.
