Oral History Center
The HMCC has created a state of the art Oral History Center.
Approximately 450,000 Greeks came to
America between 1890 and 1920 as part of the flood of Eastern European
immigrants with a majority
of these early immigrants were single young men who came from the
southern peninsula of Greece
known as the Peloponnese. Today, Greek Americans have a presence
throughout the entire United States.
The Hellenic Museum and Cultural Center saw the necessity of capturing
these important stories, and the
Oral History Project was created. Through the process of interviewing
and recording the life stories of
individuals of Greek descent, the Museum is able to preserve the
history of the Greek immigrant experience
in America. On October 12, 2007, the HMCC unveiled the Frank S.
Kamberos Oral History Center providing
a permanent home for the almost 100 life stories, and growing that
have been recorded and deposited
in the archives of the HMCC's Oral History Project.
For more information regarding the Oral History Project or to record
your own oral history, please contact
Vivian Haritos, Education and Oral History Director at 312-655-1234 or
