The ALA Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access (CC:DA) has approved the consolidated Greek romanization table of April 2010. This revised table differs from the existing table only in the inclusion in the consolidated table of two archaic letters and additional examples. The consolidated table also does not include Coptic for which a separate table will be developed. The approved consolidated table has replaced the existing table on the Cataloging and Acquisition Web site (http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html) and will be published in the Summer 2010 issue of Cataloging Service Bulletin. The Policy and Standards Division wishes to express its gratitude to those who commented on the draft table.
May I ask you to post this announcement to the Greek list? Thanks.

Please let me know if you would like me to forward copies as an attachment

I have a few hundred old postcards of scenes in Greece that I am trying to
identify and list
Some are fairly easy to date (at least approximately) if postmarked, though
some publishers appear to have reprinted from their negatives for decades
(or there were retailers with LOTS of old stock on hand to sell to tourists
!)
For example I have a pair of folders each containing 12 small but very sharp
glossy photographs of Athens. Some of the street scenes have tramlines,
vintage buses and horse drawn carts that may date c.1930 However one scene
(a view of the Acropolis from somewhere near Ardittou) has also been used on
a
stamped and dated postcard mailed to Denmark in Dec 1949
Others may have people or vehicles that can be dated stylistically but
there are many with out any clear evidence to identify properly.
My question is - are there any "collectors" guides for Greek postcards,
or other "bibliographic" tools to help?
I do have a book of some of the early postcards from Eleftheroudakis
which is nice but does NOT give enough information on original dates.
Thank You / Evcharisto
