Exhibition "Stories: The Municipal Archive of Folegandros, 1825 - 1970"

Ôhe Municipal Archive of Folegandros comprises public documents, directives, letters, municipal registers, official decisions and newspapers. The exhibition presents documents covering an era from 1825 to 1970 approximately.

Ôhe archive presentation is supported by narrations from the present day inhabitants, as well as interviews. Each historical fact is presented by the display of the document and the related narration in parallel. Thus, historical reality manifests itself next to the way it has been preserved in the memory of the people, with all the inaccuracies generated by the animation of oral tradition, and the distance of time.

Ôhe Municipal Archive was discovered in July 2004 at the annex building of the Primary School of Chora, during the restoration works for the "Archipelago" exhibition that was hosted there the previous year. It remains essentially uninvestigated until the present day. This exhibition is an attempt to demonstrate a part of this archive, made available to the public for the first time.

The exhibition will remain open until August 20.
