Abstract

This article explores a material, not so well-known, aspect of the evolution of the fields of Modern Greek History and Philology in post-war Greece, through the history of the technologies of the mechanical reproduction and storage of textual historical assets, by focusing on the case of micro-photography and its adoption by the Center for Neohellenic Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (Κέντρο Νεο­ελ­λη­νι­κών Ερευνών – Εθνικό Ίδρυμα Ερευνών). The paper traces the gradual change of the research practices, methodologies and workflows of the fields of Modern Greek History and Philology while taking into account techno­lo­gical, cultural, social and financial changes in post-war Greece as well as internationally. By doing so, this research seeks to showcase the relation­ships among technology, materiality and ideology in the areas of Huma­nities’ epistemological practices and methods.
