History and overview:
Central Eurasia, the home of some of the world's greatest art, epic literature,
and empires, is the vast heartland of Europe and Asia extending from Central Europe to East Asia and from Siberia to
the Himalayas. The Department of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University took its present name in 1993. It was
founded as an Army Specialized Training Program for Central Eurasian languages in 1943, then formally organized as the
Program in Uralic and Altaic Studies (from 1956 to 1965) and later the Department of Uralic and Altaic Studies
(from 1965 to 1993). The Department has long been one of the world's leading centers of academic expertise on Central
Eurasia as well as the sole independent degree-granting academic unit staffed with its own faculty of specialists.
The faculty of the Department enjoys an international reputation for the high quality of its research and publications.
In addition to its human resources, the Department has holdings in the Indiana University Main Library, the Research
Institute for Inner Asian Studies and its Central Asian Archives, the Eurasian Language Archive, the Hungarian Institute,
the Antoinette K. Gordon Collection of Tibetan Art, the Finnish Studies Program, and the Departmental Library.
Taken together, these holdings constitute the major research collection for Central Eurasian area studies in the United
States.
