While there is abundant information about former directors and aides of the Institute in comprehensive accounts of its history, in obituaries, and in Festschriften, things are very different for people who did not publish or whose names do not appear in printed documents. It is not easy to get a picture of the active support personnel whose efforts made smooth operations of the Institute possible – the excavation workers, porters, drivers, cleaners, illustrators, restorers, photography lab technicians, administrative assistants, and secretaries. For these people, we ultimately must rely only on the memories of contemporaries as we attempt to include them in the Institute`s ‘Oral Archive’ project. Over the past three years, around 70 former employees, their family members and friends of the Institute, were asked for mainly written statements on their personal memories (compare Brandt 2021). Many of them readily obliged; some even shared valuable photographic material with us. Only in this way is it possible to reconstruct a picture of people who once were so important to the life of the Institute, people like Maria Tzannetaki (née Rangoussi; fig. 1), who have not been mentioned in any of the histories of the Institute to date.
