Aiming at the effective use and maximum utilization of its collections, ELIA has proceeded to a series of activities. In relation to publications it is particularly active in the fields of Modern Greek literature and history. It has largely contributed to the publication of bibliographies as well as in the reprint of Greek periodicals and books of the 19th and 20th centuries. Moreover, ELIA has recently initiated a new series of editions of both historical and artistic nature, in an attempt to highlight its aesthetic material.
Furthermore, ELIA organizes and participates in exhibitions and conferences; and contributes to radio and television shows with material of literary and historical relevance.
ELIA takes also a special interest in research projects in order to examine and document various fields of Greek history and culture with the help of material kept in the Archive and other sources.
