The Hellenic Heritage Foundation Greek Canadian Archives (HHF GCA) aims to collect, preserve, and create resources relating to the history of Greek Canada.
Our archive grew out of the Greek Canadian History Project (GCHP)—a joint initiative launched by Athanasios (Sakis) Gekas and Christopher Grafos in 2012. Generous donations from the Hellenic Heritage Foundation and York University in 2021 helped establish a permanent archive housed in the Clara Thomas Archives and Special Collections section of York University Libraries.

Did you immigrate from Greece to Canada before 1970? If so, we invite you to participate in the “Greeks in Canada” research project. We are especially interested in interviewing families who arrived before WW2. If you are interested, please email us at hhfgca@yorku.ca pic.twitter.com/9RWxqcwoPW
