Collection & Reading Room
ARC
comprises two main sections: the Library and Archives.
At the
Library we have a quite extensive collection of books (ASEAN Secretariat
publications and others), journals, periodicals, newspapers, and audio-visual
materials relevant to ASEAN. With a focus on ASEAN, the collection covers a
wide range of issues, from social development, economics, science and
technology, trade, politics, foreign relations, population and culture.
The
Archives meanwhile acts as the custodian of classified ASEAN documents and
houses meeting reports, treaties, agreements, instruments of ratification,
memorandums of understanding, etc. The ASEAN Meeting Reports are restricted and
accessible only by the staff of the ASEAN Secretariat, while the ASEAN
Agreements and other ASEAN Legal Documents is accessible through our database.
The
Reading Room and Library Collection are open to staff and the public during
regular library hours.
