A group of Greek-American archivists and genealogical experts have decided to offer support to Greece’s archival infrastructure by raising funds in order to equip the local archives around the country.
Greece’s financial crisis has left much of the country’s vital infrastructure without adequate funding. Greek archival repositories are among the areas of the Greek public sector that has been critically underfunded during the last decade.
On many occasions, archivists have to cover necessary expenses with their own personal funds, as a result of lack of funding from the Greek state.
It is these difficulties which led some Greek-American experts in genealogy and archival repositories to begin a fundraising campaign to help local archival services throughout Greece.
More information about the team’s current fundraising efforts is available on its social media accounts, here and here.
