Presentation

2024 was the year that Anatolia College, the umbrella institution of ACT, celebrated its 100 years in Thessaloniki. The library archives brought this exhibition to life by sharing invaluable archival content and with the librarians contributing to the texts of the exhibition. A step-by-step methodology was designed in order to prevent the misplacement or loss of documents, as materials were carefully examined, selected, digitized, and curated for display. This presentation will provide you with insights into the preparation, the process, and the details taken into consideration when curating content for Archival exhibitions which may help you plan similar ventures in your Archives. The next phase of the exhibition will involve its digital transformation using the Omeka platform, ensuring long-term preservation and accessibility, ensuring the legacy of Anatolia College continues to inspire for generations to come. This digital version is expected to be completed and launched by the end of the year.
