[ASCSA Programs]

We are excited to share the program and poster for the upcoming Gennadius Library Conference, along with a short text highlighting key detail:

 

A Conference Celebrating 100 Years of the Gennadius Library (1926–2026): From Private Libraries to Public Knowledge. Collecting, Curating, and the Future of Libraries

April 21–22, Cotsen Hall (9 Anapiron Polemou str.)

Starting from the Gennadius Library, the symposium takes us on a journey from the world of private collections to their transformation into vibrant centers of knowledge for all.

We explore the history of printing, classification, and the organization of knowledge, while also opening up the conversation on the challenges and opportunities of open knowledge in the digital age.

The President of the Hellenic Republic, Mr. Constantine An. Tassoulas, will deliver the opening remarks of the conference.  

Simultaneous interpretation will be available. Free admission.
