Scope and content
This was the initial pilot study for the larger Greek Diaspora interview project. It was focussed on the traditional lace makers of Kato Drys village, Cyprus, and their families, who often travelled widely to sell their products and sometimes settled permanently abroad, thereby forming an important part of Greek Cypriot migrant communities from the early twentieth century onwards. The interviews are the basis of the book Cyprus lace goes west (Diaspora Books, London, 2014).
