The Bank of Greece promotes research on topics of economic history and brings to light valuable historical records and instances.
On this page, you can find publications of the Bank of Greece's Centre for Culture, Research and Documentation concerning the Bank’s own history, biographies of notable former Governors, as well as broader works on the economic—and more generally, national—history of Greece. These include the series "Documents from the Historical Archive," historical exhibition catalogues, and proceedings from conferences organised by the Centre for Culture, Research and Documentation.
