*About us *

The *Contemporary Social History Archives (ASKI)* is the leading Greek
archival institution for the history of political and social movements,
with a particular emphasis on the history of the Greek Left. Founded in
1992 as a non-profit organization and located in the center of Athens, ASKI
holds the most comprehensive collection of archives relating to Greek
social history and related public history projects and activities
(publications, workshops and conferences, radio programs, historical
walking tours) that enrich historical awareness and the collective memory
of social, political and ethnic groups.

Between
1947 and 1950 Makronissos
<http://askiweb.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a03829a7f9bedecbf453eef8a&id=a68a816ce4&e=7d0267e6cd>,
a small island in the Aegean sea, became infamous for the intense
psychological torture and corporal punishment of political dissenters.
Amidst the dark post-Civil War atmosphere, more than 50.000 citizens were
imprisoned in reeducation camps created to “fight the spread of communism”.
The ultimate aim of the Makronissos experiment was the transformation of
“traitors” into “model national-minded citizens”. The Makronissos Digital
Museum is a joint project of ASKI and the Center for Neo-Hellenic Studies.
Visitors can browse photographs, documents, newspapers and journals, while
getting a sense of the island through maps, memoirs and testimonies. The
accompanying texts, written by historians and researchers of the topic,
provide firm background knowledge for one of the darker and understudied
aspects of Modern Greek history. ASKI is planning to provide until the end
of 2017 an english-language version of the Makronissos Digital Museum.

are offering, for the third time since 2015, a series of weekly seminars
for sixty teachers. The seminar covers seminal points of Modern Greek
history and aims to foster historical knowledge, dialogue and the
development of innovative methods for teaching history in Greek schools.
*Red Histories: radio program* ASKI has announced the fifth series of its
weekly program “Red Histories” broadcasted on Sunday (1pm-2pm)
national-wide by the Kokkino 105.5 radio station. The program addresses
issues of social history and evolves around the question of how societies
relate and adapt their changing experiences by using the past as a marker
for interpreting the present. In the following weeks topics include the
Makronissos Digital Museum, the role of digital games in fostering
historical knowledge, the Macedonian traditional dances and the lost
history of Slavic dialects.

relations between capital and labor, the new social movements, the social
and intellectual history of the 19thand the 20th Century.
