EXCITING - Historic Digital Archive of Ethnikos Kirix/National Herald available to the public for FREE
After a long-awaited 105 years, the Ethnikos Kirix/National
Herald digital archive will be available to the public for free
thanks to the generous grant of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
As the longest continuously printed Greek-language daily
newspaper outside of Greece, this Archive will offer Greeks
and Philhellenes alike a newspaper database to research our
Community’s rich history. Researchers will able to track its incredible growth and evolution, decade after decade, and read
about the fascinating and moving challenges, struggles and triumphs of our Greek immigrant friends and family.
With just a few keystrokes and a couple of clicks, members
of our Community will be able to search for their families’ histories in America and beyond.
The history of Hellenism in the United States, as well as
around the world, has been printed in the Greek language on
the pages of the National Herald from the day of its foundation
on April 2, 1915 and in the English language from October 18,
1997. With the help and generosity of the Stavros Niarchos
Foundation, this invaluable history book will exist in perpetuity
for all the generations to come.
