North Ethnic Minorities Collection - Viet Nam

As a research and study collection, the Frederick and Kazuko Harris Fine Arts Library maintains this one of a kind cultural resource, likely the largest of it's kind. Consisting of approximately 2000 pieces of ceremonial and temple art from the north of Viet Nam, these materials support the scholarly research needs of various programs and departments campus-wide. Available to scholars, faculty members and graduate students only. Others may utilize the collection with permission from the curator. In early 2008, a significant portion of the collection will be available online.

Unique objects featured in the collection include a generous sampling of head dress-type objects, small and large hand scrolls, hanging scrolls, some books and textiles.

Basic Imaging Services

Currently, the Fine Arts Library offers digital imaging of the North Ethnic Minorities Collection on a limited basis, for faculty and graduate students, in support of research and instruction. Arrangments should be handled in advance for off-campus visitors.
