Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection
Library Research Fellowship Program, 2012-2013
Thanks to generous funding from the Elios Society, the University Library at California
State University, Sacramento is pleased to inaugurate 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 first year will be tenable from July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013. The fellowship application
deadline is March 13, 2012. No late applications will be considered.
Comprising the holdings of the former Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of
Hellenism, the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection, currently numbering some 75,000 volumes,
was donated to Sacramento State in December 2002 and named in honor of its benefactor and
alumnus Angelo Tsakopoulos. With its focus on the Hellenic world, the Collection contains
early through contemporary materials across the social sciences and humanities relating to
Greece, its neighboring countries and the surrounding region, with particular strengths in
post-Classical Hellenism. There is a broad representation of languages in the Collection,
with a rich assortment of primary source materials. Since 2009 the Collection has
experienced dramatic growth with the gift acquisition of the libraries of the late Pyrrhus
J. Ruches and the late Dr. Steve A. Demakopoulos, which together are adding over 5,000
volumes to our holdings in the areas of Greek language, folklore, history, literature,
music, and anthropology. For further information about the Tsakopoulos Hellenic
Collection, visit
