The Research Centre for Macedonian History and Documentation (KEMIT) maintains a specialised library and electronic databases, collects and processes archival material, publishes monographs and studies, organises seminars and conferences, provides information and documentation to interested parties and in general promotes the academic objectives of the Foundation through all possible means.

The fundamental priority of the Museum is to serve visitors and researchers. The library and archives are open to the public every day, but archival research requires a permit, as does the copying of photographic or documentary material. Archival material may also be subject to further restrictions, depending on the specific unit. Books may not be removed from the library. The Museum does, however, have collections of photographs (copies) and video films available for loan to teachers.

The Research Centre for Macedonian History and Documentation (KEMIT) is overseed by an Academic Committee. The members of the Committee are:

• Ioannis Hassiotis, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Modern and Contemporary History, Folklore, and Social Anthropology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
• John Koliopoulos, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Modern and Contemporary History, Folklore, and Social Anthropology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
