Library
HAP maintains the first and only Greek American Library in New York.
The Hellenic American Project Library was renamed Argonauts Library, in November 2021, to recognize a major donation from the association Syllogos Nomou Magnisias Argonaftes (Argonauts).
The Argonauts Library houses over 3000 volumes and all the volumes are works of Greek American writers, poets, or are about Greek Americans. The library showcases the contributions of Greek Americans to literature, the arts, academia, business, medicine, politics, science, sports, and more. HAP documents the immigration experience of Greek Americans and includes the history of Greek Americans in American society. Furthermore, HAP is working to digitize the volumes. Digitization increases access to materials, including rare and fragile prototypes, and allows for search-based information retrieval across the entire collection. Access to the volumes creates opportunities for new knowledge for scientists, researchers, and students of all disciplines.
