Southeast Asian Archive
The Southeast Asian Archive, a collection within Special Collections and Archives, is open to UCI students, faculty, staff, visiting researchers, and the general public, including K-12 students and teachers. All of the cataloged books in Langson Library 360 may be checked out to those with a UCI library card. Details about getting a UCI library card are here: http://www.lib.uci.edu/services/borrowing/getting-a-library-card.html. The Southeast Asian Archive’s archival materials, which are housed in Special Collections and Archives (Langson Library 5th floor), are non-circulating.
We welcome you to use our services and to ask us for assistance in your research.
Reference assistance is available in both locations where the collections are housed—the Southeast Asian Archive (Langson Library room 360) and Special Collections and Archives (Langson Library room 525)--during all hours that we are open to the public. You can also contact us for assistance. Visiting researchers preparing for their visit to UCI are encouraged to contact us prior to traveling to Irvine.
Our research consultation service allows you to work intensively with a reference librarian on research strategy, locating relevant collection materials, and enabling access. Research consultation is by appointment, usually for a 30-minute session. Contact us to make an appointment.
The Southeast Asian Archive (Langson Library room 360) is open to anyone, including K-12 students and teachers. The open shelves of books, journals, and vertical file materials (newsletters, brochures, etc.) are browseable.
Southeast Asian Archive’s archival materials are housed in Special Collections and Archives (Langson Library room 525) and access is provided there.
Nearly all of the Southeast Asian Archive materials in Langson Library room 360 may be photocopied at a nearby copier. Copy cards may be purchased at self-service dispensers on the Langson Library lobby and first floors. Researchers must list the materials they remove to photocopy and return promptly. Duplication of archival materials located in Special Collections and Archives (Langson Library room 525) is provided there.
The Southeast Asian Archive provides the same instruction services as Special Collections and Archives. In addition, the Southeast Asian Archive’s SEAAdoc project brings together core materials for elementary, secondary, and community college students who want to learn more about the immigrants and refugees from Southeast Asian countries. The Southeast Asian Archive librarian is available to consult with teachers on the use of SEAAdoc with their students.
