Venue

The Summer School will take place in the Historical Archives of the National Bank of Greece, Athens.

The National Bank of Greece Historical Archives were set up for the purpose of preserving and displaying archival material of National Bank of Greece deemed to be of historical importance. NBG has demonstrated particular concern for its archival material since its early days. As a consequence, NBG possesses a comprehensive historical archive whose time span coincides practically with the history of the modern Greek state.

The importance of this archival material lies in the fact that NBG, the oldest credit institution in the country, has played a defining role in the Greek economy. Most of the key moments in the economic history of the Greek nation, as well as important events in the political, cultural and social history of the country are reflected in the archival material of NBG.
