Αρχείο Μουσικής Εικονογραφίας, ΑΠΘ / Archive of Musical Iconography, AUTh 3.08

The Archive of Musical Iconography was founded in 1996 by Univ.-professor Alexandra Goulaki-Voutira as an independent workshop within the venues of the Department of Music Studies of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Its main objective is the collection, documentation and cataloguing of images related to Greek music and dance as well as the performing arts (to the extent that they involve music) from antiquity to modern times.

Using interdisciplinary cataloguing methods and systematization criteria combined with digital technology, the Archive of Musical Iconography aims to render its data accessible to wider audiences and to promote cooperation between scholars of different fields, thus allowing for the development of new approaches on the research of Greek music. Additionally, the cooperation and exchange of information and data between cataloguing centres has been one of the Archive’s foremost aspirations.
