Research Coordinator: Andreas Dimitriadis

The aim of the project is to collect and digitize all information found in newspapers and magazines of Thessaloniki related to the city’s theatrical activity, from 1922 to 1961. All data is organized in an electronic database in order to create a calendar of performances, as complete as possible.
