Area Studies

CRL supports collaborative programs that identify, acquire, preserve, and makes accessible primary source collections from all regions of the world. Six projects focused on area studies materials collect valuable resources from Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. CRL also actively acquires materials from East Asia, Western Europe, and other areas.

Doctoral Dissertations

CRL acquires about 5,000 non-U.S., non-Canadian doctoral dissertations a year to add to its 800,000+ collection of dissertations. Acquisitions are primarily through the demand purchase program for dissertations and dissertations from exchange partners.

Foreign Documents

CRL holds several hundred thousand volumes of publications from government agencies of more than 100 countries. These include a large collection of official gazettes. CRL receives limited government documents in original format and microfiche for South and Southeast Asia on an ongoing basis. CRL frequently augments its historical collections of original format government documents with microform collections acquired through its Purchase Proposal program and additions to Area Microform Project holdings.
