The Library
The acquisition of G. Y. Shevelov Collection
This year, the SRC library began to purchase the personal library of Professor Geroge Y. Shevelov. Born in Lomza in 1908, he studied and taught in KharХkov, emigrated to Germany, then to the US., where he served as a professor of Slavic philology at Columbia University from 1958 to 1977. He is a distinguished linguist, philologist and literary critic.
Last year professor Shevelov and the SRC made an agreement on the purchase of his library. Following the agreement, the SRC received part of his collection. His works will be kept in a special part of the SRCХs library. We expect this acquisition will strongly enhance our collection on Slavic linguistics and the Ukraine, and contribute greatly to the development of these fields in Japan.
