Self-description: "The Centre d'Etudes Himalayennes (CEH) [Centre of Himalayan Studies] is a library and documentation centre of the CNRS covering the entire Himalayan region (Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim and northeast India). It is primarily intended for the use of researchers and students in the humanities and social sciences (anthropology, religion, geography, history, economics, politics, linguistics, the arts, etc.).
The Centre's holdings include 15,000 books, dissertations, theses and reports; more than 1,000 maps and 600 periodical titles. All documents are catalogued and indexed; articles in periodicals and chapters in collective works are selectively indexed.
