UCI Receives Historic Collection of Armenian Books in Honor of Seboo Hovanessian

Beyond the Armenian and Iranian books, the collection represents a history of the Hovanessians. Elma Hovanessian’s husband Seboo was a civil engineer, scholar and leader of the Tehran and Los Angeles Armenian communities. His translation of Basic Teachings of Great Philosophers by S.E. Frost Jr., published in 1991 by the University of La Verne, is included in the donated collection as well as his graduate thesis in sociology from California State University, Northridge titled, “An Assimilative Profile of American-Armenians in Los Angeles.”
