About

Implementation of an innovative project aimed at developing, for the first time in Greece, a digital platform for Greek Culture based on the principles of Artificial Intelligence. This project will provide the research and archaeological community with the ability to integrate cultural material and collections, such as the Schliemann Archive, records from the Gennadius Library, and excavation archives from Ancient Corinth, managed by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

Gennadius Library

Gennadius Library

The Gennadius library was founded in 1926 to house the 26,000-volume collection of diplomat and bibliophile Joannes Gennadius in a magnificent marble building on the slopes of Lycabettus Hill. With 150,000 books, hundreds of manuscripts, unique archives, and works of art, the Gennadius Library today stands as one of Greece’s national treasures, illuminating the history of Hellenism and other civilizations of the Eastern Mediterranean from antiquity to the present day. A place of research and reflection for scholars from around the world, the library also actively participates in the intellectual life of the country with a rich program of events, lectures, conferences, and exhibitions.

Ancient Corinth

Finds and records from ASCSA Corinth Excavations are housed on site, allowing scholars to work on material close to where it was found. In addition to the objects on public display in the Museum, which was built by the American School in 1931, a large artifact reference collection is available to study by appointment with the Assistant to the Associate Director. About half of the excavation records were digitized with support from the Greek Ministry of Culture under the auspices of the Third Information Society program of the European Union.
