General Information
The East Asian Library has a strong Chinese collection in many subject areas, with more than half of its volumes and serials relating to Chinese studies.
The Library's Chinese collection has strengths in the areas of archeology, religion (especially Buddhism), folklore, pre-modern history, classical literature, and fine arts. Currently, special efforts are being made to strengthen local historical materials and statistical yearbooks. Due to space constraints, not all materials that belong to the East Asian Library are housed in the Library. Over one-third of the collection is stored in the Southern Regional Library Facility (SRLF)
The Chinese materials in the East Asian Library are cataloged using standard Pinyin Romanization systems. For your convenience, here are the concise conversion tables of Pinyin Romanization with other systems.
