The visual memory of the circassian people

About Txyde

The Circassian people have a rich and storied history, yet much of their visual heritage remains scattered across private collections, historical archives, and family albums. To bridge this gap, we have created a publicly available, collaborative Photo Archive of Circassian History—a digital space dedicated to preserving and sharing the visual memory of our people.

This archive serves as a living testament to Circassian identity, culture, and resilience. By bringing together photographs from different eras, regions, and personal collections, we aim to document our shared history and ensure that future generations can see, learn, and connect with their roots.

We invite scholars, historians, and all Circassians in the homeland and diaspora to contribute, explore, and engage with this evolving archive. Whether you are searching for historical records, cultural insights, or personal connections to the past, this platform is a resource for all who wish to keep the visual memory of the Circassian people alive.
