UNC-Chapel Hill's collection of East Asian research materials covers all the subjects of current research in Chinese studies being undertaken at the university together with enough material in other branches of Chinese culture and thought to launch beginning inquiries. The collection also provides material in support of Japanese-language training and English-language coverage of Korean subject areas.
The Library cooperates closely with the Library at Duke University which, at mid-century in mutual accord with UNC-Chapel Hill, decided to emphasize Japanese culture and thought and, more recently, to create a Korean-language collection to support a Korean studies program. The two collections combined represent the largest East Asian library concentration in the Southeastern United States and among the top twenty East Asian libraries in North America.
