OUR PURPOSE

The Soliotis Project

This website aims to preserve and present the history and legacy of Nikolaos Soliotis, the chieftain of 1821, whose place of origin was the village of Solos in Achaia (Peloponnesus, Greece). The Soliotis Project involves creating a digital archive that chronicles the important role he played in the Greek Revolution along with the achievements of his progeny. It records the extended family’s past and present contributions to Greek history, politics and culture, including the family’s migration story. It is meant to serve as a repository of archival artifacts and photos that document the family’s multifaceted history.
