American Hungarian Foundation - Fosters
understanding of Hungarian cultural traditions in U.S.
Hungarian Heritage Center includes Museum and Library of
Hungarian art and archives. Founded in 1954, the American
Hungarian Foundation is devoted to furthering the
understanding and appreciation of the Hungarian cultural and
historical heritage in the United States. The Foundation
serves as a bridge between Hungarian and American cultural
traditions in an effort to enhance a better understanding of
the contributions of each. The Foundation's founders and the
three generations of Hungarians and American Hungarians that
volunteer their assistance have illustrated through their
dedication to the Foundation that the sense of Hungarian
heritage can indeed be preserved in the United States.
Through grants, special events, lectures, educational
scholarships, and exhibitions, the American Hungarian
Foundation supports students and educational institutions.
During the past four decades, the Foundation has promoted
fellowships, scholarships, publications, research, and
educational programs. It has been instrumental in
establishing several academic programs focusing on Hungarian
studies, such as the Institute for Hungarian Studies at
Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey.
The Foundation's dream has long been to communicate the
story of American Hungarians through the Hungarian Heritage
Center, which is the only Hungarian center of its type in
the United States. The traditions and contributions of
American Hungarians are documented and preserved as
important collections and shared with the general public.
The Center's location in the Northeast region of the United
States places it not only in an historically important area
for American Hungarians, but is also in close reach of
nearly forty percent of the current American Hungarian
population. The Hungarian Heritage Center represents an
important facet of American and ethnic history because the
role of Hungarians in this country is a significant
ingredient in the fabric of American history.
The American Hungarian Heritage Center presents a unique and
dynamic portrayal of the cultural and historical heritage of
American Hungarians. As a premier institution for Hungarians
in the United States, the Heritage Center provides space and
equipment for the proper display and use of the Foundation's
rich and diverse collections. The Center's main areas are:
the Museum; the Library of more than 50,000 volumes,
archives; and The Museum Gift and Craft Shop. Additional
space within the facility provides for meetings and small
conferences, research and reading, special exhibits, and
community service groups. |
