Abstract: The increasing of the strong motion records not only in Greece but everywhere in the world and the need for the data and the information to be dispersed forced the Geodynamic Institute of the National Observatory of Athens to develop a friendly-to-user database, which includes all the available information about the records (plots, peak values etc.), the stations (coordinates, installation building, geology, orientation etc.) and the earthquakes (origin time, coordinates, magnitude, maximum intensity). A brief history of the Greek national strong motion network development together with some statistical information, a brief description of the strong motion record processing procedure, the main characteristics of this strong motion database and some simple instructions for its use are described in this study.
