Central Asian Newspapers from the University of Washington

Ilse Cirtautas, a retired professor specializing in Central Asian languages and retired professor, contributed her large collection of Central Asian materials to the University of Washington Libraries upon her death.  After sorting and de-duping, about 2750 newspaper issues remain that need preservation.  Most of the newspapers were published between 1968 and 2000, with greater concentrations in the 1970s and early 1990s.  The remaining issues do not duplicate the issues SEEMP microfilmed from the similar collection William Fierman donated to Indiana University, Bloomington.  Like Prof. Fierman, Prof. Cirtautas’ collection includes Uzbek and Kazakh...

Current Southeast Asia Newspapers

Except for Cornell and LC, very few members of SEAM subscribe to newspapers from Southeast Asia and rely mostly on Press Display, Factiva, etc or going directly to the websites of these titles.  This leaves US scholars without a basic historical record from the region.  This proposal will ease our budget, preserve and allow researchers to access newspapers.
