• Research Unit for the Documentation and Study of the Greek War of Independence and the Reign of Otto

  The Research Unit for the Documentation and Study of the Greek War of Independence and the Reign of Otto aims at gathering documentation and at researching fields related to the history of the Greek War of Independence. To this end, the unit has created an e-Lexicon of the Greek War of Independence, which already comprises approximately 200 entries for political, administrative and military institutions, diplomatic acts, people, places etc. Furthermore, the unit gathers both hard copies and digital documents of period (unpublished texts, archives, published oral narratives and interviews etc). The creation of an electronic archive, the formation of a relevant bibliographical guide, as well as the writing of short studies and articles (all available online) belong to the main aims of the unit. Its ultimate goal is the configuration of an online academic centre for the dissemination and publication of resources relevant to this thematic field that may serve as an archive as well as a research and teaching tool.
