Our Goal



To preserve, recognize, and most of all to pass down to the new generation in a suitable way via modern media devices, the tremendous achievements fulfilled by devoted leaders and members of the AGBU and AYA during more than one hundred years of its existence in Lebanon. (Just an example, in the first timeline (1905-1939) there are about 1000 names mentioned in various AGBU and AYA committees or programs…These days we hardly remember 50 or 60 names of them…the others are resting on the worn-out pages of the archives.)



The historical data and all other information sources of this timeline are based on publications and history books of the AGBU and AYA, as well as on the available archive in AGBU and AYA Lebanon office. Unfortunately, our archives are not complete, so this 1st history timeline is lacking, mostly the information about chapters, programs, activities and committee members section in (1920-1939) period. We are relying on our members and friends, as well as family members of our ex-members to find out if there are some forgotten multimedia archive materials (photos, movies, notes, name list, memories etc.) that can help us to accomplish the task.



This first timeline will be an experimental one, to build on the next four AGBU and AYA History Timelines in Lebanon (1940-1959), (1960-1979), (1980-1999) and(2000-2020). So we are open to your comments
