Collections

The collection consists of photographs circulated through OTE's telegraph service to 35 newspapers in Athens and Thessaloniki, depicting various aspects of the country's political, social, athletic and cultural life. These are 13.320 telephotos covering the period 1949-1988. The archive contains almost all of the Greek press and photojournalism (94 agencies and photographers). The timing of the collection makes it an ideal source for studying not only photography or the media, but also Modern Greek history itself.
