Library Receives Grant from the Delmas Foundation

July 26, 2004

Holy Trinity Seminary is pleased to announce the reception of a grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. The Foundation's grant will be used to assist in the goal of opening the Seminary library's hidden resources to the larger academic community by cataloging print and manuscript materials, especially rare Slavic materials, and including these holdings on a universally accessible online catalog on the Seminary website as well as in the Online Computer Library Center's (OCLC) WorldCat.

The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation (http://www.delmas.org/), established by Gladys Krieble Delmas and Jean Paul Delmas, inaugurated annual grants in 1976 for United States and Commonwealth scholars studying Venetian history and civilization. With contributions from the estates of Jean Paul Delmas in 1988 and Gladys Krieble Delmas in 1991, the Foundation, in addition to continuing the program for scholars in Venice, now recognizes and supports the major interests of the donors' lives: the humanities, research libraries, and the performing arts in New York City.

Holy Trinity Seminary wishes to express its gratitude to the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation for its generous grant.
