Since its formation in 1975, the Acropolis Restoration Service has studied, conserved, dismantled and restored the world famous monuments of the ancient Acropolis of Athens. The various stages of this colossal task have been meticulously presented and recorded in a series of conferences in Athens and their accompanying publications.
