These grants support projects to preserve and create intellectual access to such collections as books, journals, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound recordings, art, and objects of material culture. Awards also support the creation of reference works, online resources, and research tools of major importance to the humanities. HCRR offers two kinds of awards: *1) **Implementation Grants *-- $350,000 maximum, for up to three years. Eligible activities include: · arranging and describing archival and manuscript collections; · cataloging collections of printed works, photographs, recorded sound, moving images, art, and material culture; · providing conservation treatment for collections, leading to enhanced access; · digitizing collections; · preserving and improving access to born-digital sources including the updating of existing digital resources; · developing databases, virtual collections, or other electronic resources to codify information on a subject or to provide integrated access to selected humanities materials; · creating encyclopedias; · preparing linguistic tools, such as historical and etymological dictionaries, corpora, and reference grammars · developing tools for spatial analysis and representation of humanities data, such as atlases and geographic information systems (GIS); and · designing digital tools to facilitate use of humanities resources. *2) **HCRR Foundations Grants* -- $40,000 maximum, for up to two years.

Tibetan Romanization Table Revision Approved

by Johnson, Bruce

Tibetan Romanization Table Revision Approved The ALA-LC Romanization tables are developed jointly by the Library of Congress (LC) and the American Library Association (ALA). Romanization schemes enable the cataloging of foreign language materials. Romanized cataloging in turn supports circulation, acquisitions, serials check-in, shelflisting, shelving, and reference, particularly in library catalogs that are unable to display non-roman alphabet information. The ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: Asian and African Materials (CC:AAM) recently received and reviewed a proposal to revise the Tibetan romanization table. The revised table has subsequently been approved. The updated Tibetan romanization table is now available for downloading from the ALA-LC Romanization Tables webpage http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html . Please direct any questions about romanization tables to Bruce Johnson, LC Policy and Standards Division ( bjoh(a)loc.gov<mailto:bjoh@loc.gov> ). Bruce Chr.

Free lecture at the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection May 14

by Paganelis, George I

May 14, 2015 LIBRARY RESEARCH FELLOW PRESENTATION “The Greek Genocide: Pontus and Smyrna and the Resettlement of Asia Minor Refugees 1916-1925” The Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection invites you to join us for a lecture by 2014-2015 Library Research Fellow Stavros Stavridis, Historical Consultant and Independent Scholar, Melbourne, Australia. Summary: "This talk will investigate the Greek Genocide during the period 1916-25 with emphasis on two geographic regions of Asia Minor: Pontus and Smyrna. These two places contained large Greek populations who lived there for nearly 3000 years with many of them massacred by the Ottoman Government and Turkish nationalists. In the end, many were uprooted never to return to their ancestral homelands. Greece faced a massive influx of refugees in the aftermath of the Greek-Turkish 1919-22 that would require massive international assistance."
