PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE
Administered by the Cultural Association, the Kythera Photographic Archive is devoted to preserving, restoring, studying and publishing Kythera’s rich photographic heritage, a substantial part of which has unfortunately already been lost through neglect and decay. The Archive collects original negatives, prints, glass plates and all photographic materials in general, making sure that as much peripheral information as possible is recorded about each image; it also copies and digitises material which is made available on loan. Areas of interest include Kythera and all aspects of the Kytherian diaspora. The Archive’s object is to make the collection available to interested parties, for which purpose images are filed, scanned and added to a growing database. All donations of relevant photographic imagery, irrespective of condition, are of course welcome; in the case of cherished family heirlooms, we are happy to make copies and return the originals.
