East Asian History of Science Library
DONATIONS
Many
of the books in the Library have been donated by individuals and
institutions in East Asia and from around the world. They may be
individual monographs, large sets of volumes, or off-prints. The list
of donors is long, but, for
example, recent gifts have included a 14 volume set of reprinted rare
Chinese medical texts held in Japanese libraries, a set of the Korean
Journal for the History of Mathematics, a 3 volume collected works of
the Physicist Yoshio Nishina, 50 MPhil and PhD dissertations on the
history of science from China Science and Technology University, and an
annotated copy of the Daoist Patrology, the Daozang.
We are extremely grateful to all those who support the Library in this way, and would like to encourage all scholars working in the field to send their publications here to help maintain the collection as a world-class resource.
THE LIBRARY IS OPEN from 10.00 to 16.30 on weekdays. Visits are by appointment only. Books may only be consulted in the Library, and are not borrowable under any circumstances.
