The primary purpose of the Agora Picture Book series is to enliven the experience of a visitor to the Athenian Agora, excavated by the American School since 1931. While drawing on the object and monuments that can be viewed on a visit to the site, these well-illustrated guides attempt to add some human color to the dry material remains. A number of the concise guides have become popular supplementary texts for undergraduate and graduate classes in classical civilization. Since 1998 the Picture Books have been published in color.

The Athenian Agora: A Short Guide in Color
By John McK.Camp II
This colorful overview is intended primarily for visitors to the site, but also provides a useful introduction to the visible remains. After a brief history of the Agora, the principal monuments are described, and then the reader is taken on a counterclockwise tour around the site. The author is the current Director of Excavations at the Athenian Agora, and this guide therefore presents the most up-to-date information available. 48pp (Excavations of the Athenian Agora, Picture Book 16, revised 2003) ISBN: 0-87661-643-0

This new edition of the Agora guide takes account of the important recent excavations which have taken place since 1976, the year of publication of the third edition. In addition, this version has been directed specifically toward those actually visiting the site: it is somewhat more compact than its predecessor and the illustrations have been chosen to help the visitor recreate the site in his mind's eye.

These brief guides present concise descriptions of interesting discoveries at the site of Corinth, excavated by the American School since 1896. The existing numbers in the series focus on the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore, the center of a healing cult situated on the lower slopes of the Acrocorinth mountain, and on the Asklepieion.
1: Cure and Cult in Ancient Corinth - by Mabel Lang
2: Demeter and Persephone in Ancient Corinth - by Ronald S. Stroud
The Gennadius Library (known as “the Gennadeion") contains a large collection of volumes on various aspects of post-classical Greek culture and history. The Library’s archives are the repository of many more important photographs, manuscripts, documents, and special collections. The Gennadeion Monographs series exists to publish studies related to the collections of the library.
Four volumes of this series are available online:
The Venetians in Athens, 1687-1688, from the Istoria of Cristoforo Ivanovich - edited by James Morton Paton
Schliemann's First Visit to America - edited by Shirley H. Weber
Chapters on Mediaeval and Renaissance Visitors to Greek Lands - by James Morton Paton
The Campaign of the Falieri and Piraeus in the Year 1827 - edited by C. W. J. Eliot
Situated on the most direct route from the Peloponnese to central Greece and Attica, as well as from Corinth to the Saronic Gulf, the panhellenic sanctuary at Isthmia preserves evidence of cult practices from at least the 7th century B.C. A Doric Temple of Poseidon was built ca. 465 B.C. and then rebuilt after a fire around 75 years later. The site was the center of a cult to the local boy-hero Palaimon in the Roman period and continued to function as a sanctuary into at least the 3rd century A.D. Its abandoned buildings were used as a quarry to build a set of Late Roman fortifications to defend the Isthmus. This series publishes excavations by both the University of Chicago and Ohio State University.
Two volumes of this series are available online:
IV: Sculpture I: 1952-1967 - by Mary C. Sturgeon
VII: The Metal Objects, 1952-1989 - by Isabelle K. Raubitschek
Excavations on the Cycladic island of Keos revealed a number of prehistoric sites, including the site of Ayia Irini on a peninsula at the northwest end. This site was occupied from Neolithic to Roman times, flourishing particularly in the Bronze Age when it was the location of a sanctuary. A large number of near lifesize figures were discovered there during excavations in the 1960s by the University of Cincinnati. This series is no longer published by ASCSA. Other volumes have been published by Philipp von Zabern Verlag.
One volume of this series is available online:
I: Kephala: A Late Neolithic Settlement and Cemetery - by John E. Coleman
Lerna, on the shore of the Gulf of Argos, is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Greece, having been occupied with few interruptions over a period of some 5,000 years, from the 6th to the 1st millennium B.C. A simple Neolithic village became a more complex settlement in the Early Helladic period when the massive House of the Tiles was built. Destroyed by fire at the end of the period, it was covered by a tumulus in the Middle Helladic period. This series presents the results of excavations by John L. Caskey from 1952 to 1958.
All volumes of this series are available online.
I: The Fauna - by Nils-Gustaf Gejvall
II: The People - by J. Lawrence Angel
III: The Pottery of Lerna IV - by Jeremy B. Rutter
IV: The Architecture, Stratification, and Pottery of Lerna III - by Martha H. Wiencke
V: The Neolithic Pottery from Lerna - by K. D. Vitelli
These volumes present the definitive account of one of the masterpieces of Greek architecture, the grand entrance to the Athenian Akropolis designed in the 5th century B.C. by the architect Mnesikles. Written by a father and son team over a period of 80 years, the two books present a complete overview of the development of one of the monuments of western civilization. No further volumes are planned.
One volume of this series is available online:
II: The Propylaia to the Athenian Akropolis II: The Classical Building - by William B. Dinsmoor and William B. Dinsmoor Jr., edited by Anastasia Norre Dinsmoor
High in the mountains of Arcadia, the Temple of Apollo Epikourios at Bassae was built and rebuilt a number of times during the Archaic and Classical periods. According to the Roman traveler Pausanias, the architect was Iktinos, who was also responsible for building the Parthenon in Athens. Although the accuracy of this statement is uncertain, the temple remains one of the most spectacular and well preserved in Greece. This four-volume series, including large-scale plans, is based on a detailed study by University of Minnesota researchers. The series is complete.
All but the folio volume of plans are available online:
I: The Temple of Apollo Bassitas I: The Architecture - by Frederick A. Cooper
II: The Temple of Apollo Bassitas II: The Sculpture - by Brian C. Madigan
III: The Temple of Apollo Bassitas III: The Architecture: Illustrations - by Frederick A. Cooper
