The work we do at the Museum & Memorial has become the core value of the Cambodian community across the U.S. During the past 10 years, the Museum & Memorial has made significant impacts on the Cambodian community both locally and nationally, and on the general public. The Museum & Memorial is the only museum of its kind in the US, which dedicates its programs and activities to the Cambodian genocide awareness and social justice, advocacy for genocide survivors and their families, healing arts, and youth leadership development in social justice. In 2004, the Cambodian American Heritage Museum & the Killing Fields Memorial was established under the auspice of CAI.

How did monuments to military heroes, noble and commoner, evolve in this period? How did gender alter the equation? How did the tombs of the upper bourgeoisie and professional classes relate to the monuments of the nobility? How did the choice of materials effect the perception of these objects? And how did carved monuments relate to memorial representations in other media such as painting and prints? We are interested in the ways tombs and epitaphs helped establish a viable image for leading families and facilitated participation in important networks.
