The Elling Eide Center’s research library is a private non-circulating library, containing roughly 60,000 volumes and 300 scholarly journals, that primarily concern China and its border regions from ancient times through the Song dynasty. The monographs range from thread-bound editions to modern studies in Chinese, Japanese, and Western Languages. Our rare books collection contains volumes in Chinese, Japanese, English and Spanish, with the earliest dating to 1515. The Eide Library aims to become one of the most complete research libraries in the Southeast United States, for scholars and students of Chinese and Inner Asian Studies.
Researchers desiring access to the collection should visit our Visiting Scholars page for more details.
