With over 2.8 million books, periodicals and newspapers, a large number of manuscripts, and electronic media, the collections are the most comprehensive sources of Asian language materials outside of Asia.

Western language materials about Asia are part of the general collection but can be requested in either the Asian Reading Room or the Main Reading Room."
