Abstract

A brief history of operation of the mechanicalseismographs in Greece and the application of atechnique for converting analog seismograms to digitaltraces in a form suitable for further processing orarchiving are presented in this study. A short historyabout the installation of mechanical seismographs inGreece, the characteristics of these instruments, areference on the usage of historical records, as wellas a presentation of the procedure followed from theidentification of the record to the archiving it as adigital file have been included.
