English abstract

The paper aims to present General Athanasios Daskarolis’ historical map collection which after digitization is stored in ESTIA the Institutional Repository of Harokopio University and provided under open access. General A. Daskarolis was one of the officers that led Greek troops in Asia Minor Campaign (1919-1922, a highly important and decisive part of Greek history) using those maps, so their historical and cultural value is priceless. The collection consists of 15 maps made by the Hellenic Military Geographical Service. As General’s family was familiar with a faculty member of Geography Department, they decided to donate the maps to Library and Information Center in order to be sustained, processed and used not only by Harokopio’s University academic community but by all citizens as well. The presentation will briefly disclose some biographical information regarding General A. Daskarolis’ military action and will describe the maps that compile the digital collection. Additionally there will be an extensive reference to the standards that were used for the collection to become accessible. Moreover future actions regarding the better promotion of the geographical information for the wide audience will be recorded.
