The Directorate for the Curation of the National Archive of Monuments (DCNAM) is a Central Service of the Ministry of Culture, subordinate to the Directorate-General of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage, tasked with operating the National Archive of Monuments, the central repository of the Greek state for monuments throughout Greece.
The purpose of the National Archive of Monuments is to preserve documents, both in hard copy and digital, concerning the mobile and immovable monuments of Greece, to enrich and manage them using any appropriate means and especially using digital technologies, as well as to disseminate them for the benefit of society by adopting open-access policies.
The National Archive of Monuments is composed of the Archaeological Cadastre, the Digital Collections of Mobile Monuments, and the Historical Archive of Antiquities and Restorations. For each of the three distinct parts of the National Archive of Monuments, the DCNAM operates and updates the respective Management Information Systems (MIS) intended for use by the Services, as well as the Portals addressed to the public.
