The Athens Conservatoire Archive includes the Historical Archive of the institution (with rare material dating back to the founding of the Conservatoire in 1871), as well as other archives and collections that have been donated to or are housed  at the ACRDC. Among them are the Archive of the Chourmouzios-Papaioannou Foundation (including the Archive of the Contemporary Music Research Centre – CMRC, founded by Iannis Xenakis); the Archive-Collection of Stathis Arfanis; the Musical Archive of Dionysios Lavrangas, the iconic composer of the Greek National School and the Archive of Jani Christou, the great Greek avant-garde composer. 

Thus, the Historical Archive of the Athens Conservatoire, along with its new acquisitions, covers a period of more than 150 years of music production and activity, representing a real treasure of our modern cultural heritage. 

This valuable material, much of it previously unknown and not used for research purposes, has contributed to numerous exhibitions, lectures, and concerts organized by ACRDC in recent years (see Activities/Events).
A large part of the archive material has been catalogued and digitized, and is physically available to researchers and the general public in the Archive facilities by appointment, via the email address archives@athensconservatoire.gr and online here: Digital Repository.
