Introduction: Religious studies and South Asian studies have been integral parts of the University of Chicago Library since its founding in 1892. In addition, the East Asian Collection has been an important part of the Library's collection since 1936. Together these three collections make up the larger Buddhist studies collection at the Library. The collection emphasizes scholarly books or sources rather than popular or derivative works.We acquire materials in whatever languages are relevant to scholarship. The South Asia collection includes materials on Buddhism in southern Asia and gives priority to materials for the study of Buddhism. One highlight is our collection of Tibetan Buddhist pothis. The East Asian collection includes materials on Buddhism in Japan, Korea, and China. The religious studies collection includes materials on Buddhism in other parts of the world, including the United States.
