Can anyone on this list help with this enquiry :
I am the author of ‘Boswell’s Books: Four Generations of Collectors and
Collecting’ (Oak Knoll 2016)
I continue to collect data on newly discovered books from the
Boswell/Auchileck library.
Lord Auchinleck, Alexander Boswel, [he just used one el] was the father of
the biographer and considered to own the finest collection of Greek & Latin
Classics in Scotland. I have identified hundreds of his books that have not
yet been located. They do show up in the market on a sporadic basis.
I would be very grateful if you could poll your group for any information
they might have (or books they might own) with his ownership signature or
more rarely the book stamp.I can assure anonymity if that is preferred.

Deadline for applications is July 15, 2023.
Steinmetz Family Foundation Museum Fellow, Agora Excavations and Makriyannis Exhibition Wing
Thanks to a grant from the Steinmetz Family Foundation, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) is fortunate to invite applications for a one-year fellowship in museum education and collections management starting September 1, 2023, with the possibility of a one-year extension at the School’s discretion. The Steinmetz Family Foundation Museum Fellow in Athens will, in collaboration with the Director and staff of the Athenian Agora, design and implement educational resources for use online and on-site at the Agora Excavations. The Fellow will also assist with exhibitions for the Makriyannis Wing at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
The educational resources from the Agora Excavations delivered through this grant advance knowledge of Greece in all periods by bridging the gap between the research conducted by archaeologists and the teaching of the past in the classroom both locally and globally. Lesson plans, online programs, and on-site programs, give students worldwide access to the stories and artifacts of generations of people who lived in Athens, one of the longest continuously settled communities in human history and the home of the world’s first democracy.
Term:
September 1, 2023-August 31, 2024 (with possibility of renewal until August 31, 2025)

The Fellow will also assist in collections management work in the excavation storerooms to record and catalog artifacts.
The educational resources from Corinth Excavations delivered through this grant advance knowledge of Greece in all periods by bridging the gap between the research conducted by archaeologists and the teaching of the past in the classroom both locally and globally. Lesson plans, online programs, and on-site programs, give students worldwide access to the stories and artifacts of generations of people who lived in Corinth, a crossroads of culture for thousands of years.
Term:
September 1, 2023-August 31, 2024 (with possibility of renewal until August 31, 2025)
Stipend:
$25,000 USD annual stipend (paid quarterly), plus waived membership fees and half-board and full room at Hill House, in Corinth.

Subject: Re: [DIGITALCLASSICIST] Greek dialect codes
Hi Gabby -- just to stir up the conversation a bit... (if it's off-topic,
feel free to ignore the message ☺)
I am aware that grc is meant to include also Medieval/Byzantine Greek.
Greek in the 13th century is however very different from that in the 5th
century B.C. Any thoughts on adding/proposing a language code also for
Byzantine Greek? But, again, how to define it?
Suggestions/input/criticism are much appreciated!
Cheers,

Following up in turn on Joel's 2018 (re)query of my 2007 (!) question:
1. the Wikipedia error that Chris reports seems to have been fixed; that
page now correctly offers "el" or "gre" for modern Greek, and "grc" only
for ancient Greek;
2. re dialects: I don't have any strong feelings about separating
Epic/Homeric from more organic dialects such as
Aeolic/Attic/Doric/Ionic/etc. Is there any practical reason to do so? I'm
not sure what the philosophical reason would be…
3. would there be any appetite among DigiClass members for compiling,
testing, documenting (and perhaps ultimately proposing for wider adoption)
a short list of dialects? Some work was done on this by a workshop group
over a decade ago (documented so far as I can see only in
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…),
so it would probably not take long to pick up and complete.

Subject: Re: [DIGITALCLASSICIST] Greek dialect codes
I see that el is the code for Greek (modern) in 639-1. But wikipedia claims
grc is also be for Greek (modern) in 639-2/B
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipe…
That seems to be incorrect though:
grc Greek, Ancient (to 1453) grec ancien (jusqu'à 1453)
gre/ell el Greek, Modern (1453-) grec moderne (après 1453)
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.go…
It seems that registering secondary language subtags for classical Greek is
easily done; it just needs a proposal (names and definitions) for the list,
which has had some level of review from the community.

Greetings,
In my work I’m now facing the question raised by Gabbie in 2007 (see
below). He didn’t get a response then, but this decade’s readership might
have proposals or solutions.
I see from a random sample of entries I’ve fetched from
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fservices.p…
that Attic, Doric, Aeolic, Ionic are all candidates. But many times in the
same field -- <cnt:dial/> -- we have epic and Homeric. Would it be improper
to treat the latter group the same as the former? If so, then what is the
practical alternative for the relatively straightforward <body
xml:lang="grc-Homeric">…</body>?
Whether or not a formal IANA application was eventually written, it’s
probably worth documenting suggestions on the classicist wiki (which I
can’t seem to access right now; my archival search suggests the topic is
still terra incognita).
Sincerely,

Dear colleagues,
Have you, or do you know of anyone who has, done any work on encoding
Greek dialects in XML? In particular, has anyone tried to compile a list
of dialects and propose 5- to 8-character codes for them to the IANA
registry (as described at
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ietf.o…
and listed
at
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iana.o…
)?
So for example, the Aeolic dialect might be expressed using the xml:lang
attribute with the value:
xml:lang="grc-Aeolic"
(where "grc" is the 3-letter code for classical Greek, there not being a
2-letter code like "el" for modern Greek)
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

Dear Colleagues,
A couple of items of possible interest. In this "Book Tour<https://libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/collections/collection-highligh…>" archaeologist Jack Davis writes about the AMFOGE maps in the John Miller Burnam Classics Library at the University of Cincinnati and Karamanlidika experts Evangelia Balta and Anastasia-Aglaia Lemos about thirteen books from the 18th and 19th centuries discovered in the Library about a year ago. For notes on the discovery, see blogpost<https://libapps.libraries.uc.edu/liblog/2022/07/new-discoveries-for-the-bur…> from last year.
The other item of possible interest is the historic journals<https://wisenba1.wixsite.com/moderngreekjournals> we have digitized so far as part of the "Greek Digital Journal Archive." See also the repository of digitized journals<https://libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/collections/mod-greek-journal/g…> at other institutions such as Harvard, etc. If any of you have scanned Greek journals from the 19th and early 20th century and made them openly accessible, please let me know and I'll add them to the growing GDJA repository. The Burnam Library journals have been provided content notes by Chrysoula Kakarimpa, Holy Trinity-St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Cincinnati, with additions by Nassos Papalexandrou, University of Texas at Austin, and myself. I hope that we will be able to upload pdf's for all of the 45 journals on the WIX site and after that to digitize an additional five, and the Karamanlidika material this summer.
We have also had some 600 Greek, U.S., and British army maps from WWI and WWII digitized (including the AMFOGE maps). You can read about the project here<https://libapps.libraries.uc.edu/liblog/2022/07/the-uc-classics-librarys-gr…>. These maps were digitized by East View, so I'm afraid access is not free of charge. To gain access, you must contact the company.

Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection
Hellenic Research Fellowship Program 2023-2024
Thanks to generous ongoing funding from the Elios Charitable Foundation, the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Foundation, and the Tarbell Family Foundation, the University Library is pleased to offer the continuation of the Hellenic Research Fellowship Program (HRFP) for an 11th year. The Program supports the use of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection by fellows for scholarly research in Hellenic studies while in residence in Sacramento, CA.
The HRFP provides a limited number of fellowships ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 in the form of reimbursement to help offset transportation and living expenses incurred in connection with the awards. Since the Program’s inception in 2012, thirty-five fellows in Hellenic studies from 12 countries, including seven independent scholars and 17 women, have benefitted from sustained access to the collection in support of original scholarly research. Thus far these research stays have directly contributed to the fruition of at least 12 conference papers, six journal articles, five book chapters, two completed doctoral dissertations, and two monographs.
The Program is open to external researchers anywhere in the world at the graduate through senior scholar levels (including independent scholars) working in fields encompassed by the Collection's strengths who reside outside a 75-mile radius of Sacramento. The term of fellowships can vary between two weeks and three months, depending on the nature of the research, and for the current cycle will be tenable from September 1, 2023-August 31, 2024. Please note that the HRFP is contingent on continued on-campus operations beginning fall 2023. Should this not be possible due to pandemic or other causes, fellowship offers will be deferred until such time as awardees can opt to accept or decline them.
The fellowship application deadline is May 23, 2023. No late applications will be considered.
Consisting of the holdings of the former Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of Hellenism, the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection is the premier Hellenic collection west of the Mississippi and one of the largest of its kind in the country, currently numbering approximately 80,000 volumes and over 450 linear feet of archives. It comprises a large circulating book collection, journal holdings, electronic resources, non-print media materials, rare books, archival materials, art and artifacts. With its focus on the Hellenic world, the Collection contains early through contemporary materials across the social sciences and humanities relating to Greece, the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey, and the surrounding region, with particular strengths in Byzantine, post-Byzantine, and Modern Greek studies, including the Greek diaspora worldwide. There is a broad representation of over 20 languages in the Collection, with a rich assortment of primary source materials. For further information about the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection, visit http://library.csus.edu/tsakopoulos-hellenic-collection.
For the full Library Research Fellowship Program description and application instructions, see: https://library.csus.edu/tsakopoulos-hellenic-collection/hrfp. Questions about the Program can be directed to George I. Paganelis, Curator, Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection (paganelis(a)csus.edu<mailto:paganelis@csus.edu>).

-- please help MLIS students understand current activities, with many thanks! -Sarah
Hello classics librarians, library users, and colleagues,
We are MLIS graduate students at the University of Missouri interested in learning how librarians and archivists are working towards accessibility and inclusivity in classics libraries and related collections today. We are inspired by the recent A*CENSUS II in clarifying how much progress has been made on professional measures and demographics, and interested in extending its diversity and accessibility focus to classics librarianship - so we look to you.
Libraries have been working towards creating more inclusive spaces for their contributors, employees, and users for some time - but we know little about what such efforts look like in academic libraries dedicated to humanities areas like classics, anthropology, history, and regional area studies. The recent A*CENSUS II All Archivists Survey (https://sr.ithaka.org/publications/acensus-ii-all-archivists-survey-report/ ) report released by Ithaka S+R and the Society of American Archivists positively noted that:
" While diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility goals have not yet been achieved in the archives profession, there is encouraging evidence that steps are being taken to reach them. Half of all respondents have witnessed others taking action to improve diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the archives profession. "
With what such efforts are you involved? We'd love to know more, so please answer our concise 3-question survey here:
https://missouri.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_87K0iiOtVNX1Wxo
We will close the survey in early April to analyze findings with Dr. Sarah Buchanan, our professor at the iSchool, and are happy to answer any questions at msscn3(a)missouri.edu<mailto:msscn3@missouri.edu> or buchanans(a)missouri.edu<mailto:buchanans@missouri.edu>.
Thank you for participating!
