by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Sternfeld, Joshua" <JSternfeld(a)neh.gov> Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 11:06:03 -0500 NEH Grant Opportunity - Preservation and Access Research and Development The Division of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for the Humanities will be accepting applications for grants in its Research and Development program. The newly revised 2011 guidelines, which include sample proposal narratives, can be found at: http://neh.gov/grants/guidelines/PARD.html. Please note the new (earlier) deadline for submission: May 19, 2011. Grants in this program support projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and resources. These challenges include the need to find better ways to preserve materials of critical importance to the nation's cultural heritage-from fragile artifacts and manuscripts to analog recordings and digital assets subject to technological obsolescence-and to develop advanced modes of searching, discovering, and using such materials. Maximum awards are $350,000 for up to three years. Eligible activities include: * the development of technical standards, best practices, and tools for preserving and creating access to humanities collections; * the exploration of more effective scientific and technical methods of preserving humanities collections; * the development of automated procedures and computational tools to integrate, analyze, and repurpose humanities data in disparate online resources; and * the investigation and testing of new ways of providing digital access to humanities materials that are not easily digitized using current methods. NEH especially encourages applications that address the following topics: * Digital Preservation: how to preserve digital humanities materials, including born-digital materials, for which there is no analog counterpart; * Recorded Sound and Moving Image Collections: how to preserve and increase access to the record of the twentieth century contained in these formats; and * Preventive Conservation: how to protect and slow the deterioration of humanities collections through the use of sustainable preservation strategies. Applications addressing one of these three areas of interest are eligible for a maximum award of $400,000 for up to three years. The application receipt deadline is May 19, 2011 for projects beginning January 2012. All applications to NEH must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov; see guidelines for details. Prospective applicants seeking further information are encouraged to contact the Division at 202-606-8570 or preservation(a)neh.gov. Program staff will read draft proposals submitted six weeks before the deadline Please note that the Division is also accepting applications for two other grant categories: "Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions" (May 3, 2011 deadline) and "Humanities Collections and Reference Resources" (July 20, 2011 deadline). Details on these programs, as well as on the full slate of funding opportunities in Preservation and Access, can be found at: http://www.neh.gov/grants/grantsbydivision.html#preservation To receive further grant program updates and other Preservation and Access-related news, please follow us on Twitter: @NEH_PresAccess. ________________________________________________________________________ ________ The National Endowment for the Humanities is a grant-making agency of the United States (U.S.) federal government that supports projects in the humanities.

Clean Monday celebration to benefit the Gennadius Library

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "The American School (ASCSA)" <jgoble(a)ascsa.org> Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 11:27:16 -0500 The Board of Overseers of the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens Cordially invites you to celebrate CLEAN MONDAY - KATHARA DEFTERA The 11th Annual Benefit for the Gennadius Library With Honorary Patrons Ambassador of Greece to the United States Mr. Vassilis Kaskarelis and Mrs. Anna Kaskarelis March 7, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. 871 Seventh Avenue, New York City Enjoy unique Lenten Cuisine prepared by Chef Partner Jim Botsacos Music performed by Grigoris Maninakis and the Mikrokosmos Ensemble The Gennadius Library is one of the national treasures of Greece. It is a world-renowned center for the study of Hellenism from antiquity to the present, holding some 120,000 rare books, archives, manuscripts and research volumes illuminating all the periods of Greek history and civilization. It draws a public from around the world to use its collections and to attend its numerous lectures and conferences. The Board is comprised of distinguished women and men from the United States and Greece, and its fine staff consists of the best of American and Greek academia and librarianship. Visit [1]www.gennadius.gr for further information on this unique institution. [2]Please click here to download the invitation. Here is a sample of some of the dishes you will enjoy! Octapodi Lathera, slow cooked octopus, potatoes, eggplant, extra virgin olive oil and oregano. Foods that are cooked “lathera style” are slow cooked under cover using olive oil and the moisture that is created during the cooking. All the ingredients are cooked until fork tender. You’ll see a variety of different dishes done throughout Greece; everything from legumes to seafood. This is a great dish to eat during the Lenten period as the richness of the olive oil is quite satisfying. Garides Sto Fourno, Roasted jumbo prawns, hot pepper & spiced tomato saltsa. During the period of Lent, when Greeks abstain from meat, poultry, dairy and any fin fish, you will see a large consumption of crustaceans along with vegetables and legumes. This dish combines the sweetness of the onion and the contrast of the spiciness from the spice mixture that is sprinkled on the prawns. The prawns are then layered over the sweet onions and baked all together in a casserole. The end result is a luscious head-on prawn with spices atop the sweet melted onions. The dinner will be complemented by wines from selected vineyards of Hatzimichalis Estate in Atalanti Valley in Central Greece (2009 Lefkos blend of Robola, Malagousia and Sauvignon Blanc and 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon). RSVP (609) 683-0800 Ext. 14 or jgoble(a)ascsa.org. Space is limited. Please purchase your tickets early. Guests will receive a gift bag with a copy of the new edition of The Athenian Agora Site Guide edited by John McK. Camp II, a gourmet bottle of extra virgin olive oil from Greek Farm International's Terra Medi collection, a bottle of Estate Hatzimichalis wine (represented in the U.S. by Athenee Importers), and a copy of Greek America magazine.

I am not the administrator of these fellowships, but am simply trying to get the word out. Please feel free to forward at will. The link below may be of interest to scholars outside the New York area -- it gives full information on the short-term research fellowships at NYPL that are back for a second year. The program is still in formation; we are hoping, of course, that it will become annual. At present there are twenty fellowships of $2500 apiece. http://www.nypl.org/help/about-nypl/fellowships-institutes/short-term-resea… While last year the funds were linked to specific collections, this year they are available for work in any collection of any of the research libraries, including the Stephen A Schwarzman Building (i.e., the building with the lions), the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Library for the Performing Arts, and the Science, Industry, and Business Library.

1883 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARIES OF A GRAND MEDITERRANEAN TOUR: ITALY, THE LEVANT, GREECE, TURKEY AND EGYPT

by KALAMOS BOOKS

This is available from a colleague in Toronto June S ============================ Item Description Title: 1883 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARIES OF A GRAND MEDITERRANEAN TOUR: ITALY, THE LEVANT, GREECE, TURKEY AND EGYPT Publisher: Author: B.B. LE TALL Publication Date: 1883 Binding/Format: Edition: Condition: Good Inventory #: 0001221 On offer are a superb pair of original manuscript travel diaries handwritten as stated by: "B.B. Le Tall - Day-Book of my tour in Italy & The Levant. Vol I - Italy. Paris. Athens. Egypt 8.I-9.III 1883" and "Day-Book of my tour in Italy & The Levant. Vol IV Constantinople and Homewards 29.iv - 1883." Mr. Le Tall provides a unique diary experience given his keen eye and obvious love for details. Other journals provide that Mr. Le Tall is a railway engineer and surveyor and highly educated and travel wise. Over 300 pages in the first book [18 x 12 cm] and 70 pages in the second [19 x 11 cm] give the reader an extraordinary account of his travels for the year including a very detailed expense report. An English gentleman, Le Tall starts from his home in Yorkshire then to Rouen, Paris, Basle, Milano, Venezia, Pisa, Ravenna, Firenze, Roma, Napoli, Athens, Aohnai, Piraeus, Constantinople, Alexandria and Cairo and many more. Collectors and historians will be hard pressed to find more detailed diaries as Le Tall incredibly provides historical perspective and his keen observations as an engineer on the affect and wonderment and concerns of many of the things he observes - a water delivery system in Naples, the biblioteca of the Abbey in Ravenna, difficulties in Athens being understood, [he mentions how a few words in Italian is better than many sentences of French], plants and herbs on Italian mountainsides [research suggests Le Tall was a botanist too], Schliemann's Museum +++. He even has subheadings: State of the Streets, Figs, Market Gate etc., as he highlights areas of interest. Rarely have we seen so comprehensive a travel diary but he writes as he is - a cultured, learned engineer and surveyor! Ephemera such a tickets, passes, news clippings are littered throughout the books adding further depth to this super narrative. Both diaries have some physical trauma but overall G. =================================== June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal
