Lebanon asks its people at home and abroad to help write its history with family photos and letters

The Ministry of Culture has launched a digital archive project that invites Lebanese at home and across the diaspora to share family photographs, letters, songs and other memories, L'Orient Today reported.

For millions of Lebanese abroad, from São Paulo to Sydney to Montreal, family albums and letters sent home are often the only record of villages, parishes and journeys that shaped the country.

Lebanese Lobby encourages diaspora families to take part, and to share the story behind their photos with the community on the Lobby wall.
