and benefactor
Gikas N. Koulouras, donated to the Municipality of Hydra.
The Museum is located near the Harbour Authorities, to

east side of the port.
Αntonios D. Lignos, doctor and Mayor of Hydra for over 40
years, tried with great efford to sort and transcribe all the files of the
island of Hydra, which he fount in storerooms inside the Holy Church of Dormition.
That was the first try to create a File-Museum.
In 1952 Gikas N. Koulouras donated the building to the State. Since then
the Historic File Museum of Hydra operates as public service bureau.
In 1972 the building broke down and in its place is built the today Museum
with the care and surveilance of the former Bishop of Hydra-Spetses-Aegina Ιerotheos.
The Historic File Museum accommodates the library and the files and archives
of Hydra.
