The volume includes original papers on 1821. It is the final deliverable of the research project “Young Historians of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki on 1821”, which was prepared in the context of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki’s participation in the celebrations of the great anniversary, with the kind support of the National Bank of Greece. It highlights the research qualities of the young historians, not university graduates but post-doctoral students, young or prospective doctoral students and post-graduates, all trained at AUTH, who are already actively contributing to research. The published studies are not consecutive chapters of a joint project. They are more detailed and fully documented than the short presentations of the conference organized in March 2021, and are structured in three sections. The first section deals with the celebrations and representations of 1821 (Stathis Pouliasis, Georgia Vlachodimou, Christos Mandatzis, Sotiroula Vassiliou). In the second section, the studies are based on the use of various forms of archival material (Jasmina I. Tomasevic, Christos Kyriakopoulos, Alexis Dasios, Spyros Gasteratos, Kostas Sarris), while in the third section the studies are based on secondary sources (Konstantinos Diogo, Marianna Cherianidou, Maria Disli, Eumorfia Pegnioglou). – Vassilis K. Goounaris is Professor of Modern History at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Dimitris Lyvanios is Assistant Professor at the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
