Chinese Studies Resources at the EAL

With over 249,500 volumes of Chinese monographic volume holdings, over 500 current periodical titles, 8 major Chinese electronic databases,  and 1,700 items of multimedia resources, the Chinese collection ranks the 13th in North America as of June 2007. The Chinese collection has notable strengths in traditional Chinese literature, philosophy, and history. Other areas of strength are Chinese classics and religion, Ming and Qing gazetteers, local histories, and imperial court archives. With an increasing emphasis on modern China, the collection contains relatively comprehensive publications of Chinese yearbooks, statistics, and Cultural Revolution publications

In addition, the East Asian Gateway Service complements our Chinese journal collection by providing researchers with Chinese academic journal articles that are not available in any U.S. institutions.
