Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection
Library Research Fellowship Program, 2014-2015
Thanks to generous funding from the Elios Society, the University Library at California
State University, Sacramento is pleased to announce the third of a three-year Library
Research Fellowship Program to support the use of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection by
fellows for scholarly research in Hellenic studies while in residence in Sacramento. The
Program provides a limited number of fellowships ranging from $500 to $4,000 to help
offset transportation and living expenses incurred during the tenure of the awards and is
open to external researchers anywhere in the world at the doctoral through senior scholar
levels (including independent scholars) working in fields encompassed by the
Collection's strengths who reside outside a 150 mile radius of Sacramento. The term
of fellowships can vary between one week and three months, depending on the nature of the
research, and for the third year will be tenable from July 1, 2014-June 30, 2015. The
fellowship application deadline is February 21, 2014. 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 largest Hellenic collection in the
western United States and one of the largest of its kind in the country, currently
numbering approximately 75,000 volumes. 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. There is a broad representation of over 20 languages in the
Collection, with a rich assortment of primary source materials. Since 2009 the collection
has experienced particularly dramatic growth through two major gift acquisitions totaling
more than 5,000 volumes and miscellaneous other gifts totaling another 4,200 volumes. For
