Finally special thanks to my family for their moral support and encouragement during the course of my studies. ABSTRACT This research concerns the promotion of preservation and conservation in Greek Libraries and the education of Greek librarians on preservation issues. Firstly the problems of the current situation are investigated. Based on a question­ naire survey, the factors which affect Greek library materials have been identified. To further substantiate the results of the questionnaire, a book collection survey was conducted. The study reveals the inadequate housing and environmental conditions of the library collections of the libraries sur­ veyed which results from a lack of awareness concerning pre­ ventive preservation measures, lack of preservation programmes and limited conservation education, limited resources for conservation activities, the weak organisational structure and funding of Greek libraries in general. It concludes that unless the existing situation is reversed, collections will continue to deteriorate resulting in the loss of valuable components of the Greek cultural heritage. The contents of possible preservation policy programmes and the problems of their implementation as such in the Greek library environment are described. To improve the situation the establishment of a National Preservation Committee is proposed which will aim at: a) the increase of awareness and education of both librarians and the general public through relevant courses, b) the promotion of the implementation of preservation policies, c) provision of information services. d) promotion of communication and cooperation at local, national and international level and e) addressing national issues such as use of acid-free paper, translation and use of standards and guidelines, research projects, promotion of the creation of conservation and microfilming centres. An improved syllabus for preservation education of library students in the existing library schools and the creation of a preservation administration course are proposed as means for future improvement of the present situation.

    hesperia yy (2008) EXCAVATION OF A Pages497S37 13TH-CENTURY CHURCH NEAR VASILITSI, SOUTHERN MESSENIA ABSTRACT A small-scaleexcavation in the area ofVasilitsi, southern Messenia, revealed the remnantsof a previouslyunrecorded 13th-centurytriple-aisled cross- vaulted churchwith a series of burials along its northwall. In addition to ceramicsand a marblebasin, a small hoard of Venetian torneselliwas found. The authordiscusses the church'speriod of use and details of its architecture and construction,as well as the identityof its builders and the settlement pattern of this largely unknown area. Parallels from published histories, surfacesurveys, and excavations fromother regions of medieval Messenia and Greece are discussed. An osteological reporton the burials is presented as an appendix. - In the past fewdecades, various regions of Messenia particularlytheir - Byzantine,Frankish, and Ottomanphases have attractedgreat interest amongarchaeologists, thereby providing a usefulbody of comparandafor currentwork in the area.1This report,which presents the results of exca- vationsin 2000 in southernMessenia, focuses on the remainsof a small 13th-centurychurch, probably built by a travelingguild of craftsmenfol- lowingLate Byzantineexamples in southernGreece.
