Bernard Cohen Establishes Angkor Database to Enhance Cultural Preservation in Cambodia
Bernard Cohen, a journalist and literary translator, has founded Angkor Database, a nonprofit platform in Cambodia aimed at cultural preservation, tourism, and education. The initiative serves as both a digital resource and a physical library, designed to make Cambodia's rich historical and cultural knowledge more accessible to visitors and local communities. Cohen's career spans war reporting, journalism, and literary translation across multiple continents, and his deep interest in history and culture led him to establish this platform. Angkor Database seeks to enhance Cambodia's tourism offering, support sustainable development, and contribute to the country's growing role as a hub for research and knowledge.
