This project seeks to improve our understanding of The American college of Greece's history by examining it through the eyes of the many students who studied here. By looking at it through the lens of the many students who have studied here, this project seeks to show the history of the college in a unique light. While the entire 150-year history was beyond the scope of this project this project still manages to cover the majority of the 19th century from 1920s to the 1990s. Covering each decade in depth through the works, photos and words of ACG students and staff.
This project explores some different aspects of the means by which the image and identity of Greece has been projected and gradually developed both internally and externally; particularly through the means of attracting tourist activity in the period of 1945-1990. This project was created as the final assessment of the course PUBLIC HISTORY via the History Department of the American College of Greece during the Spring semester of 2024. It is composed of the following themes: The Government's Role, the Xenia Project, the Local Communities, the Nation Branding through the Eyes of the Greek-American Diaspora and the Greece: Through the Lens of Foreign Film.
