20 No. 6, 1975 HUNGARIAN STUDIES NEWSLETTER THE HUNGARIAN RESEARCH CENTER The purpose of the Center is to stimulate interest in and provide assistance for the study of Hungary and Hungarians. It consists of groups of scholars and scientists who have professional interest in such studies, and others who plan to expand their knowledge into this specialization. These groups include: (a) THE COUNCIL OF CONSULTANTS composed of scholars known for their accomplishments in the fields of the humanities and in the social and behavioral sciences, representing a broad spectrum of disciplines. The Council of Consultants is responsible for the policy of the Center, it assists the American Hungarian Foundation in allocation of fellowship awards, and its members avail themselves for consultation to younger scholars interested in Hungarianrelated research. As of January 1, 1975 the following have offered their services to the Council: DR. ASTRIK L. GABRIEL, Prof, of Medieval History, U. of Notre Dame (Chairman) DR. TIBOR CHIKES, Prof, of Theology, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, D.C. DR. ISTVÁN DEÁK, Prof, of History, Columbia U. DR. LINDA DEGH, Prof, of Folklore, Indiana U. DR.

(b) ASSOCIATES, who for the duration of their relevant research or study, or for their career affiliate themselves with the Center to attain free access to all its facilities and services, including free copies of all publications of the Center. Associates publishing at least one original article (or book) related to Hungarian studies are exempt from dues in the year of publication. Others may pay dues as determined by the Foundation. The Center provides the following services: INSTITUTIONAL BASE. For Associates who have no academic institutional base or for some reason do not want to use their present institutional affiliation in the course of a grant application or publication, the Center is ready to serve as such. This service is available to both, American and foreign scholars. LIBRARY. The library collection of the American Hungarian Foundation includes some 30,000 volumes of which about 8,000 are catalogued. Catalogued books are mainly in the fields of Hungarian history, literature, and political science. They comprise the Joseph Reményi Collection, the Elmhurst College Collection, the Franklin and Marshall College Collection, and part of the former Hungarian Reference Library of New York, donated by Louis Szathmary. Cataloguing is an ongoing process and will, hopefully, make the entire collection accessible in the not too distant future. Meanwhile, the card catalogue may be consulted freely and books may be located with the assistance of the librarian. HUNGARIAN STUDIES NEWSLETTER. To facilitate the continuous review of relevant publications, ie. books, articles, doctoral dissertations, theses, lecture papers, of research in progress, and of exchange programs between Hungary and the United States, and in general to assist in the interaction among and between a non-institutionalized community of Hungarologists and persons marginally interested in Hungarian or Hungarian-related studies, the Center publishes a newsletter three times during the academic year. PUBLICATIONS. Neither the Center nor the American Hungarian Foundation are sufficiently strong financially to undertake publication of books without at least matching funds from elsewhere. The Center intends to assist in the acquisition of such funds for the publication of important research tools and reference sources, such as bibliographies, study guides, catalogues, which would enhance further research and study. The Director of the Center is appointed by the Board of Directors of the American Hungarian Foundation. Dr. Bela C. Maday is presently serving in this capacity. The address of the Hungarian Research Center is 177 Somerset Street, New Brunswick, N.J. 08903. Telephone: 201-846-5777. HUNGARIAN RESEARCH CENTER AMERICAN HUNGARIAN FOUNDATION P.O.
