About Pergamos

Pergamos comprises a large set of heterogeneous digital collections of cultural value, owned by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, as well as part of the research and educational production of the NKUA academic community, a collection that is constantly enriched. More specifically, Pergamos boasts of 20 collections of diverse content, covering almost the entire thematic range of NKUA's Schools, while the total number of digital items reaches approximately 1,000,000 digital objects.

In particular, Pergamos included the following collections by 2013:

• Digital Collection of NKUA's Historical Archive
• Folklore Archive and Museum Collection of the University of Athens
• Theatrical Collection
• Konstantinos A. Psachos Music Library Collection
• Manuscript Collection of the Byzantine and Modern Greek Philology
• Museum of Mineralogy and Petrology Collection
• Archive of the Greek Communities of Istanbul
• Maraslio Archive
• Collection of Published Election Results
• Collection of medical images
• Papyrus collection

The following new collections have been or will be added soon in Pergamos' current instance:

• Collection of rare books
• Spyridon Lambros Archive
• Gray Literature Collection
• Collection of periodicals
• Collection of old fellowships
• Honorary Publications of the NKUA
• Conference Proceedings
• Collection of scientific publications, research and other material

Depending on its content, each collection may have an administrator or curator from the staff of respective NKUA units that are closely related to the collection (responsible for the content of the collection they curate). This ensures that compliance with the relevant guidelines or regulations that may govern or affect the content is achieved.

In this context, Pergamos, as the Institutional Repository of the NKUA, has the ability to host any material, either borne digital or not, that is either owned and associated with our Institution or produced by the NKUA academic community. In the same context, Pergamos and its administrators as well as the Library and Information Center, are not responsible for the content of material posted through self-deposit or in the context of enriching collections by their curators.
