The Centre for Historical Studies of the Catholic Diocese of Syros (K.I.M.K.E.S.)
was founded in 1986 and is located at Ano Syros, next to the Cathedral of St. George.
It includes the historical and ecclesiastical archives of the Catholic Dioceses of Syros and Thera,
as well as the archives of the Municipality of Ano Syros. Through the preservation and study of
the historical literary sources, one of the primary aims of the institution is to illuminate and promote
the history of Syros and the Cyclades in general.
