"The Hellenic Chronicle newspaper: Digitizing an archive" by N. Agris & M. Pouliopoulos (1/30/2022)

2nd International Greek Ancestry Conference (Jan. 29-30, 2022) - Session III: Research Tips and Developments
The Hellenic Chronicle Newspaper was the largest USA-based Greek-American weekly published in English. It featured church, community, and organization news from across the country as well as national and international news of interest to Greek Americans. The newspaper microfilm was only partial, and the last substantial paper collection was falling apart. This presentation will discuss the initiative to digitize and preserve this important collection, and plans to make it publicly accessible.
Nancy Agris Savage is the Team Leader of The Hellenic Chronicle Digitization Project and Executive Director of The Peter Agris Memorial Journalism Scholarships, and the former Editor-in-Chief of The Hellenic Chronicle and a Senior Staff Counsel of The House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Meletios Pouliopoulos is a Greek music historian and archivist, and founder of the non profit organization, Greek Cultural Resources. He is an author, researcher, and lecturer, and produces a weekly radio program. He is a Consultant to the Hellenic Chronicle Digitization Project.
