The SRII Library

The SRII library contains two collections: the SRII research library and the Gunnar Jarring Central Eurasia Collection. Books cannot be lent but must be directly accessed at the SRII. Digitalised books from the Eurasian collection are available through the homepage of the Gunnar Jarring Library.
