PAHH stands for Preservation of American Hellenic History and was the original website created and sponsored by the Ascension Historical Society. Over the years, it has been a repository of original manuscripts and had been a collection of Greek/Hellenic Historical organizations whose aims were to preserve the Hellenic History in America. The original PAHH website had been very active from March 2002 to September 2007 and the resources will continue here. The original collection of works published by PAHH are linked below.
