Institution : Contemporary Social History Archives
The Archives of Contemporary Social History (ASKI) digital collection provides access to digitized documents, printed materials, and audiovisual records from the organization’s collections. These digital assets have been produced within the framework of thematic research projects and digitization initiatives. Comprising approximately 10,200 items, the collection primarily covers the 20th century and documents key aspects of modern Greece’s political, social, and cultural history.
The composition of the repository is characterized by the predominance of textual materials (approximately 8,800 items), including administrative and archival documents, correspondence, reports, telegrams, announcements, and press releases. In parallel, it includes a significant body of literary and discursive material—such as poems, song lyrics, essays, biographies, and speeches—highlighting the ideological and cultural expressions of the period.
2D graphic materials (approximately 1,400 items), including photographs, printed ephemera, programs, and posters further enrich the collection, offering insight into history, conflict and public life. A smaller but notable presence of audiovisual material, musical scores, and cartographic items broadens the scope of the repository.
The digital holdings draw on distinct archival units, with the ASKI Archive as the core, alongside the archives of EDA and EPON, as well as dedicated photographic collections. Overall, the repository constitutes a coherent and well-documented body of sources, of particular value for the study of contemporary social and political history, and the study of women's history.
