UPDATE: new flickr site on Cartography of the Middle East

If anyone is interested in antique maps of the Middle East, I have a small collection at www.flickr.com/photos/middle-east/

I am a political economist specialised in international migration, with particular reference to the Mediterranean, Balkan and Near East regions. For a list of publications see scholar.google.com/citations?user=q5T-mqcAAAAJ&hl=en

Since 2010 I have been building up a collection of rare antique maps, books, photos, postcards and other documentation relating mostly to Athens, but also more generally to Greece. Some of the collection is scanned and posted online in this archive -- in the hope that it will be of interest to Athenian residents and also useful for original research work on the history, archaeology and civic development of Athens.

Researchers requiring hi-res scans that cannot be downloaded should contact me for access.
