History of the Asia Library

The Asia Library was established as the University of Michigan's Far Eastern Library in 1948 with an initial focus on collecting Japanese materials. Over the years, we also developed robust collections covering China and Korea. Ours is one of top four academic East Asian library collections in North America.
