includes titles about Türkiye and Turks in English, and other western languages.
Our collection covers the geographic area made up by Türkiye, Southeastern Europe
and the Balkan Peninsula, the Aegean Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle
East and North Africa, the Caucasus, the Volga-Ural Region (Russia), the Crimea
(Ukraine), South Siberia (Russia), Central Asia and Xinjiang (China).
Turkish collection is primarily housed in the Hatcher
Graduate Library, but can be found in other libraries on campus:
the Fine
Arts Library, the Clements
Library, the Askwith Media Library, the Art, Architecture and Engineering Library, the
Law Library, and
Buhr Shelving Facility.
Some Turkish and Turkic reference books (dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibliographies, etc.) are located in room 110 of the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library, but many can be found in the general stacks of the Graduate Library. Some reference titles related to Türkiye and Turks can also be found in the Documents Center. The Map Library includes many unique items relating to the geographic area. The Special Collections Library holds part of the personal library of Sultan Abdulhamid the Second (34th Ottoman Sultan who reigned from 1876 to 1909) , with more than 500 books and manuscripts.
The materials in above mentioned libraries can be located through the library catalog of the University of Michigan, The new version of MIRLYN. Access to indexes and article databases is available through a Go to Find Articles link within the system.
