Our archives consist of a wealth of unpublished documents related to Modern Greek history and culture. Our office is located in a newly-renovated neo-classical building at 10 Granikou Str., in the historical Kerameikos district of Athens. One of our immediate goals is to develop a state-of-the-art research center, where any researcher can come and access these archives. Moreover, our own associates creatively process part of these archives making them more accessible to the general public.
