<http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1LvH6jnKkQI/VJLFvYpjRvI/AAAAAAABGlk/SiKA1Y_Bny8/s1600/Olympic2b.jpg>The
historical archives of the Organizing Committee of the "Athens 2004
<http://www.olympic.org/athens-2004-summer-olympics>" Olympic Games are now
being showcased in Ancient Olympia <http://www.olympia-greece.org/site.html>.
It is customary for these types of archives to be kept in Lausanne,
but theInternational
Olympic Committee <https://www.blogger.com/> (IOC) decided that the
non-profit organization "Historical Archives Athens 2004" be charged with
the custody and care of the archives in Greece, while the funding would be
provided by the IOC. The archives were presented by the Hellenic Olympic
Committee <http://www.hoc.gr/index.php?lang=en> and the International
Olympic Academy
<http://www.acnolympic.org/nocs/nocs-highlights/2014/11/athens-2004-official-archives/>
.

The exhibition also provides room and facilities for study and research.
The archives include documents, videos, movies, photos and any material
related directly or indirectly to the organization of the 2004 Olympic
Games. The project started in May 2013 and was completed in June 2014.
