This project constitutes the first systematic attempt to record and catalogue the diverse and distinctive types of expressions and manifestations of the Press, which, despite the extraordinary conditions and the political view of each newspaper, managed to overcome the prohibitions and the censorship that were imposed during WWII, the Civil War and the two dictatorships (1936-1941, 1967-1974). Although it is not exhaustive, the database includes 1,912 different newspapers that were published and distributed illegally or semi-legally, making it unique of its kind.
It includes the digitization and uploading on the internet of approximately 12,500 front pages of underground and semi-underground newspapers that were published during 1936-1974 and are located in the printed and digital collections of ASKI, one of the most important and extensive collections available. The statistical data and the relevant charts included in this study bring to the surface the contours and profile of the underground Press, its publishers and its geographic diffusion in Greece and abroad. The study focuses on two different historical periods: a) the German Occupation and the Resistance (1941-1944), and b) the seven-year military dictatorship (1967-1974).
