The East Asian Collection brings together the University of Adelaide Library’s existing collections of Chinese and Japanese language material to support research and teaching, particularly in the areas of social sciences, literature and history.

It is made up of over 10,000 volumes of print materials acquired by the Library, as well as those generously donated over the years. Highlights include impressive sets of Japanese literature and specialist material covering the period of the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1970).

The East Asian Collection can be found on Level 1 South of the Barr Smith Library.
