Collection Description
The UC Berkeley Library contains one of the largest Slavic collections
among US academic libraries. Materials are collected from all the
countries of the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in all
vernacular languages. Substantial material in English and other
European languages is also collected to support Slavic Studies.
The largest part of the collection supports the study of Russia,
its history and culture. Strong research collections exist for
Polish, Czech and Hungarian Studies. Curriculum supporting collections
cover the remainder of the East European countries. Through strong
exchange agreements with academies and national libraries in the
Caucasus and Central Asia, the Library has built solid collections
for these regions and continues to do so to support increased campus
interest in these subject areas.
All subjects in the Humanities and Social Sciences are covered
in depth. These are housed mostly in the Doe Library. A rather
unique feature of the Slavic collection at Berkeley is strong coverage
in Mathematics,
Engineering, and the Physical and Biological Sciences (PDF).
These collections are distributed among various “subject
specialty” libraries on campus.
The Library has acquired many of the large microform sets that
have been published by commercial vendors in recent decades. Among
these are Eighteenth Century Russian publications, a substantial
portion of Sankpeterburgskiia Viedomosti, and various large journals
runs from the 19th century. Major newspapers from the region are
also held on microfilm. All collections can be located through
the Library’s on-line catalog.
