Hwa-Wei Lee Center for International Collections

The Center's main activities are focused on its reference services through the consolidation of staff and corresponding reference resources to provide direct library support of programs, for classes with an international content, and for individual research.

The Center, established in the Summer of 1999, was made possible through the generosity of Dr. Vernon R. Alden and Marion Parson Alden. Dr. Alden was president of Ohio University 1962 - 1969. The Center is named after the former Dean of Libraries, Dr. Hwa-Wei Lee, a key contributor to the development of Ohio University's area studies collections.
