Nearly 1 Million Volumes in New East Asian Library

The C.V. Starr East Asian Library, which opened March 17, is the first freestanding structure at an American university erected solely for East Asian collections.

The building brings together the vast collections assembled by UC Berkeley over the past century that have been housed at several locations on and off campus. It will give students and other scholars easier and faster access to one of the top East Asian library collections in the United States.

The campus's collections contain more than 900,000 volumes, primarily in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The library also houses the largest, most comprehensive and most valuable collection of historic Japanese maps outside of Japan and the largest academic repository in the United States of materials on the People's Republic of China.
