“The Folklore Archive, by means of an organized and permanent service, under the enlightened supervision of specialists, will collect the treasures of inestimable value of our national heritage, thereby preserving them from rapidly encroaching extinction, and ensure their publication. Thus it will provide scholarly research with a character derived from the Greek spirit. This spirit, although variously tested through struggle, enslavement and liberation, has retained its original form and unity.’’

[Parliament of Greece, Law 1304 “On the establishment of a Folklore Archive”, Greek Government Gazette A΄, n. 85/ 18-04-1918].
