After a year of fundraising, recording interviews and editing videos, the Monemvasia Society held a celebration launch party, to showcase the first selection and archive of oral history interviews.
The Society's main objective, in the past, has been to gather and preserve photographs of and from Monemvasia, to record and honour the history of The Rock. It is our intention to showcase what Monemvasia used to be like, before modern tourism began to alter the local nature of The Castro. In order to add another relevant angle in recording the history of Monemvasia, we decided to interview the elders and locals, so that future generations can know what it was really like.
In the future, The Monemvasia Society hopes to have a physical location in which we can showcase our collection of photographs and oral interviews for all to enjoy and learn from.
We are very grateful for all of your support so far in helping us achieve this goal. To donate, or become involved in this project, please contact us, or visit our Go Fund Me page.
