Ιn 1969 the Society of Cypriot Studies was founded and the first International Congress of Cypriot Studies was held. The aim of the Society is to study and promote the archaeological, historical, philological and cultural heritage of Cyprus from prehistoric times and covering the Roman, Byzantine, Medieval and Ottoman periods but not excluding the more recent history.

The 4th International Cyprological Congress, held between 29th April and 3rd May 2008, was attended by some 350 researchers from all continents thus proving the huge scientific interest shown with regards Cyprus’ contribution to world civilization and its promotion by the Society.

A notable contribution of the Society is its preservation of the popular theatre of Karaghiozis, many of whose figurines were collected and are now preserved in the Museum of Arts.
