Dear all,
We're pleased to announce that the holdings of the Royal Asiatic Society http://www.royalasiaticsociety.org/?q=library have been added to Copac.
The collections of the Royal Asiatic Society have developed continually since the founding of the Society in 1823, and today incorporate some 80,000 books and journals, thousands of manuscripts, paintings and drawings, and maps, as well as extensive archive holdings.
The printed collections date back to the sixteenth century, and in subject and language span the whole of Asia as well as adjacent regions, with Indian and Persian cultures particularly well-represented. The core of the printed collections is the nineteenth-century material, which is representative of the development of Oriental studies during that period. A vast range of subjects are covered, with the main strengths being in languages, philology, art, history, literature, religion, and philosophy.
To browse, or limit your search to the Royal Asiatic Society, go to the main tab on copac.jisc.ac.uk and choose 'Royal Asiatic Society' from the list of libraries. Copac is a free service accessible at: http://copac.jisc.ac.uk.
