Collection Hellenic Research Fellowship
Program 2024-2025
Thanks to generous funding from the Tarbell Family Foundation, the
Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, and the Endowment Fund of the Greek Orthodox
Church of the Annunciation of Sacramento, the University Library at California
State University, Sacramento is pleased to offer the continuation of the
Hellenic Research Fellowship Program (HRFP) for a 12th year. The HRFP, the only
residential fellowship program west of the Mississippi in Hellenic studies
broadly conceived, enables visiting scholars to conduct research using the
Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection in Sacramento, CA. This year we are happy to
inaugurate writer-in-residence fellowships as an addition to the Program.
The HRFP provides a limited number of fellowships in the form of reimbursement
to help offset transportation and living expenses incurred in connection with
the awards. The fellowship application deadline is May 3, 2024. No late
applications will be considered. See below for full program information and
application instructions.
Consisting
of the holdings of the former Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of
Hellenism, the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection, part of the Donald &
Beverly Gerth Special Collections and University Archives, is a research
collection of international significance for the campus and Sacramento regional
communities, as well as for scholars around the globe. Currently numbering over
80,000 volumes and 500 linear feet of personal papers and institutional
archives, it comprises a large circulating book collection, journal holdings,
electronic resources, non-print media, rare books, archival materials, art, and
artifacts. With its focus on the Hellenic world, the collection contains
materials from antiquity to the present across the social sciences and
humanities relating to Greece, its neighboring countries, and the surrounding
region. There is a broad representation of languages in the collection, with a
rich assortment of primary source materials. For further information about the
