Angelos Delivorrias is the director of The Benaki Museum . The museum's Photographic Archives Department was established in 1973 to collect, preserve and document photographs of Early Christian, Byzantine and post-Byzantine art and architecture. Since then, the Department’s original scope has gradually been extended to cover images of Greece and its culture, its history and contemporary society.

The department now includes photographs depicting traditional trades, customs, and agricultural practices; the Occupation and post-war period; social and cultural events; antiquities; Byzantine churches; neo-classical and traditional architecture, and urban settlements.
