Greek Ephemera

The Greek Ephemera Collection provides a digital archive of Greek political posters spanning more than seventy years of Greek political life, from the early 1950s to the late 2010s. Most of the posters in this collection were affixed on the walls of the Exarchia neighborhood in Athens, one of the most iconic places in the history of Greek political and social movements, where the students Polytechnic uprising against the military dictatorship took place in November 1973.

This collection is the result of a unique partnership with Princeton’s Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies and its Director, Dimitris Gondicas, and reflects the Center’s commitment to strengthen and expand teaching and scholarship in all aspects of modern and contemporary Greek civilization. This collection was acquired by matching funds provided by the Program in Hellenic Studies with the support of the Stanley J. Seeger Hellenic funds.  The bulk of this collection is constituted by posters produced by Greek political parties for Greek parliamentary, regional, and municipal elections, and also Greek elections for the European Union’s Parliament. This collection also includes posters, leaflets, affiches, and other ephemeral records generated by a variety of youth political organizations, student movements, and anarchist, environmentalist, feminist, and other activist groups operating in Athens after 1974. The materials in this collections document evolving media strategies, visual communication, and political campaigning in Greece from the pre-digital era to the present.
