In its January 2023 newsletter, the General State Archives of Greece (GAK) announced a major digitization project to include “55,000,000 digital downloads from the archives and collections of almost all of the General Archives Services of the State*(Central and Regional) with parallel documentation and development of a thesaurus of items for all the digital material…Upon completion, the project will also utilize the content of the digital portal @ρχειομνημων, of the first major digitization project of the GAS Service which was completed in 2008.”

The implications for researchers, both historical and genealogical, are phenomenal. The announcement below was in the GAK January 2023 newsletter. You can subscribe to the newsletter at this link. The English translation is via Google Translate.
