Chinese CollectionsThe 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) New Acquisitions ListWith the support of the Library administration, the East Asian Library recently made a special one-time opportunity purchase of Chinese books in the fields of Chinese archaeology, classics and literature, history, art and art history, philosophy and religions. This opportunity purchase will certainly fill some collection gaps in these fields. The following is list of a few major titles of the purchase.
