Conserving Greek-American Heritage
CONSERVING GREEK-AMERICAN HERITAGE and the need for Greek Cultural Resources was the subject of my presentation to the International Hellenic Association on February 11, 2025. This is a good overview of the work at Greek Cultural Resources, and why it is important. The introduction is in Greek but the presentation is in English.
