The Sara B. Aleshire Center for the Study of Greek Epigraphy is a campus research facility endowed by
the Estate of the late Dr. Sara B. Aleshire, an alumna of AHMA and a distinguished scholar of Greek
epigraphy and ancient Greek religion. The purpose of the Center is to encourage and support the research
of UCB faculty and graduate students in ancient Greek inscriptions from all regions of the Mediterranean
world. To that end, the Center provides funds for (1) research grants for travel to study Greek inscriptions;
(2) seminars and conferences at UCB to further the study of Greek Epigraphy; and (3) book purchases
related to the study of Greek Epigraphy. The Center is administered by an Advisory Committee to the Chair
of the Graduate Group in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology. The current Chair of the
Advisory Committee is Professor Nikolaos Papazarkadas.
The Center is housed in 310 Dwinelle Hall and includes a substantial research library in Greek epigraphy,
an extensive collection of offprints especially in Greek religion, an archive of photographs of Greek
inscriptions and a large collection of squeezes.
