Greek-American Historical Museum of Washington State
Website: www.greeksinwashington.org
The museum was established in 2009 with the mission of establishing an organized means of collecting, preserving and making available the history and culture of the Greek-American community in Washington State. The Museum, also known as Greeks in Washington, presently operates as a “museum without walls” with online exhibits in the categories of Making a Living, Making a Home, and Keeping Community. The primary activity of the Museum is to conduct video interviews which become online exhibits with text, photos and video segments. By the end of 2014, there were over 130 video interviews conducted and 95 exhibits posted on the site. The Museum has established an archive to house donated or loaned items which include textiles, film, video, DVDs, costumes, clothing, bound volumes, printed materials, photos, slides, newspapers, documents, art work, audio recordings and other artifacts. These materials are available for inspection and research purposes. The original videos are on file but not made public.
