HISTORICAL ARCHIVE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS

>> INFORMATION & HELPDESK <<

The Historical Archive of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens was founded in 1991, as an administrative and research department of the University. Today it is housed in an interwar building owned by the University, located in the center of Athens, at 45 Skoufa Street. Until 1991, the University Archive had been scattered in many buildings, that the University used during its gradual expansion, from its founding in 1837. The Historical Archive collects and classifies archival records for the years 1837-1970, digitizes the collections and creates digital catalogues. Its main objective is to make this material accessible to researchers, readers and the general public. For this purpose, its facilities include a reading room, where one can study the archival and printed collections, and a central hall for seminars and events. Apart from the researchers, the Institution accommodates readers interested in tracing their personal or their ancestors’ data from the archive.
