Hesburgh Libraries

The winner of the Rev. Paul J. Foik, C.S.C., Award for library faculty arrived at Notre Dame in 2007 as special collections librarian for digital projects and later assumed subject responsibility for Italian studies, a position she still holds. At the same time, she has become a leader within the Hesburgh Libraries, first as co- director of the Digital Initiatives and Scholarship Program and currently as director of Specialized Collection Services, which incorporates Conservation and Preservation Services; University Archives; Digital Access, Projects, and Outreach; and Rare Books and Special Collections. Described as a “model of collegiality” who encourages individuals to “develop a personal stake” in their work, she has authored articles and book chapters as well as numerous grant proposals, including one that recently led to a significant award from the Mellon Foundation for a joint project with the Snite Museum of Art.

The University of Notre Dame is proud to present the 2019 Rev. Paul J. Foik, C.S.C., Award to Tracy C. Bergstrom, Director of Specialized Collection Services Hesburgh Libraries.
