About

Implementation of an innovative project aimed at developing, for the first time in Greece, a digital platform for Greek Culture based on the principles of Artificial Intelligence. This project will provide the research and archaeological community with the ability to integrate cultural material and collections, such as the Schliemann Archive, records from the Gennadius Library, and excavation archives from Ancient Corinth, managed by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

Ancient Corinth

Ancient Corinth

Finds and records from ASCSA Corinth Excavations are housed on site, allowing scholars to work on material close to where it was found. In addition to the objects on public display in the Museum, which was built by the American School in 1931, a large artifact reference collection is available to study by appointment with the Assistant to the Associate Director. About half of the excavation records were digitized with support from the Greek Ministry of Culture under the auspices of the Third Information Society program of the European Union.
