[MGSA-L] Acquisition of the Prof. Alexander Kitroeff Collection

[Paganelis, George I]

Dear Friends of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection,

I am pleased to announce that Alexander Kitroeff, Professor of History at Haverford College, has donated nearly 1,000 select volumes and his professional papers to the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection in the University Library at California State University, Sacramento.

The books and journals deal principally with Modern Greek history since independence, with main areas of strength being the dawn of independent Greece under King Otto (1832-1862), Asia Minor, and the period of the 1930s-1974. There are also significant materials on Modern Greek politics, including the Macedonian Question, communism, and foreign policy during the 20th century, rounded out with publications on literature, culture, and the Olympic Games. Notable among the journals is a run of approximately 40 issues of Neos Kosmos, a rare periodical published by Greek communists in exile in the 1960s-1970s. Additional books, featuring a collection on the Greeks of Egypt, will be donated in the near future.

Kitroeff’s manuscript material (ca. 15 linear feet) consists of research files on the Greek Orthodox Church in America, the Greeks in Egypt, the modern Olympics and sport, and correspondence with Greek and American scholars, including in his role on the editorial board of the Journal of the Hellenic Diaspora.

We are most grateful to Prof. Kitroeff for this valuable addition to the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection. For more information about the collection, see https://library.csus.edu/tsakopoulos-hellenic-collection/kitroeff.


Best,
George
