Greek Cafes & Milk Bars of Australia: Lecture & fundraiser event

About

Please join us as Leonard Janiszewski & Effy Alexakis, the renowned historian and documentary photographer, and creators of the In Their Own Image: Greek-Australians National Project Archive deliver an enthralling presentation on a history familiar to many Greek & Kytherian families - the Greek Cafes & Milk Bars of Australia. These family-based food-catering enterprises ‘transformed’ Australian popular culture.

The Kytherian World Heritage Fund (KWHF) in collaboration with AHEPA NSW are delighted to invite you to join us for this free lecture and to support the digitisation of the In Their Own Image: Greek-Australians National Project Archive with the State Library of New South Wales. The digitisation work is vital to preserve over 40 years of Greek-Australian historical research for generations to come.

Proceeds from all books sold on the night will help fund this vital work
State Library of NSW donation forms will be available on the night or you can donate online at: https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/give (referencing 'In Their Own Image: Greek-Australians National Project Archive digitisation fund')

For more details about the lecture and options on how to donate please visit the KWHF facebook page www.facebook.com/kytherianwhf

We so look forward to seeing you there and appreciate you donating generously to this very worthy cause!
