The years go by, but memories do not fade.
Historical memory, however, is not preserved through personal recollections alone. It requires knowledge, research, and documentation. At a time when misinformation and the distortion of historical facts can spread so easily, historical and social sciences help us understand the past and pass this knowledge on to future generations.
The Library of Panteion University, an institution specializing in social and political sciences, holds a rich collection of resources covering the period of the military dictatorship, the Athens Polytechnic Uprising, and the events that followed.
We have compiled a thematic reading list in our Library Catalogue, featuring a selection of titles from our collection.
You can also explore additional resources, delve deeper into historical research, and seek answers to your own questions through our Library Catalogue and electronic resources.
We honour the struggles of the young people who took part in the Athens Polytechnic Uprising and contribute, through knowledge and research, to the preservation of historical memory.
Please note that, in observance of the anniversary of the Athens Polytechnic Uprising, Panteion University will remain closed from Friday, 13 November 2026, at 21:00 until Wednesday, 18 November 2026, at 07:00.
