Self-description: "THE BOOK THAT STARTED IT ALL . . . taken by Charles Lesley Ames as reading material on a trip to England in 1907, W. H. Fitchett's The Tale of the Great Mutiny so impressed its reader that he spent the rest of his life building a library on the British-Indian interaction. In 1961, after more than 50 years of dedicated collecting, Ames gave his library to the University of Minnesota. The gift of over 25,000 titles, including manuscripts, photographs, maps, prints and drawings, immediately established the University as having one of the pre-eminent libraries for the study of South Asia in the western world. COLLECTION FOCUS - The main focus of the collection is the British-Indian interaction. Particularly noteworthy are the holdings of: * Military and regimental histories; * Administration of India (including many manuscripts of Viceroys and Governors-General); * Travel and description; * Histories and accounts of wars and battles; * Official publicatons; Current collecting for the Ames Library relates to all aspects of the humanities and social sciences. A Department of Education Title IIC grant provided funding for the cataloging of rare books, pamphlets, tracts and manuscripts in the collection. ADDITIONAL GIFTS - Several others have followed Mr. Ames' example and have given their libraries to enrich the Ames Library: * The Abdus Salam Collection of Persian and Urdu materials, * The Long Beach Collection of Bengali materials, * The Trois Johnson Collection of Portuguese materials, DEFINING SOUTH ASIA - South Asia includes: * Afghanistan, * Bangladesh, * Bhutan, * Ceylon / Sri Lanka, * India, * Nepal, * Pakistan. The Ames Library also collects material related to Burma / Myanmar and Tibet, due to prior historical and political involvement with Inda. PL480 PROGRAM - The Public Law 480 Program of the Library of Congress added over 100,000 volumes of scholarly materials from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka to the Ames Library of South Asia. This program allows the Ames Library to acquire works in the vernacular languages of South Asia, particularly in Bengali, Hind, Marathi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telegu, and Urdu. Additional materials related to South Asia are held in many other collections within the University of Minnesota Libraries. Search MNCAT, the online catalog of the University of Minnesota Libraries.

Supplied note: "Call for Papers, 'Power and Change in Malaysia and Singapore.' The 16th Malaysia and Singapore Society Colloquium, 10-11 December 2010 The Australian National University, Canberra. [...] Call for Papers In the last few years, Malaysian and Singaporean societies have undergone a number of significant social and cultural shifts. A range of new debates is being heard, new players have come forward, and new perspectives on social life, both past and present, are being discovered. Some of these shifts have opened possibilities for political transformation, most notably in Malaysia after the 'political tsunami' of the March 2008 general election. [...] The Malaysia and Singapore Society of Australia (MASSA) calls for papers which reflect, analyse, grapple with, or reject these new trends in society and scholarship in Singapore and Malaysia, from any disciplinary or regional perspective. Apart from papers dealing specifically with the 2010 Colloquium theme, papers on all subjects relating to the history, politics, society, economy, culture etc. of Malaysia and Singapore are also welcome. Individual papers and panels are both invited. Abstracts of up to 250 words for each paper, along with panel abstracts of up to 250 words where relevant, should be sent to massa.colloquium---at--anu.edu.au by 15 September 2010.

The Indonesia Update has been conducted annually since 1983. It is organised by The Australian National University's Indonesia Project and Department of Political and Social Change. The conference is free of charge. [...] The nexus between employment, social participation and reform, poverty and inequality is a major area of social and economic life and of public policy. Trends in poverty and inequality are heavily dependent on labour market opportunities, and on social policies and social spending, especially in education and health. Job creation, education and health, and direct policies to improve equity and overcome poverty are critical areas of economic and social policy, and the subject of intense debate in contemporary Indonesia. The 2010 Indonesia Update conference aims to provide a research-based assessment, accessible to a general audience, of how Indonesia has travelled in regard to social policies over the past decade, given the ambitious goals the government has set for itself, especially under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY). The conference papers will also identify the challenges and possible new directions for equity and poverty alleviation policy in SBY's second term, in the broader context of challenges and achievements in neighbouring Asian countries."
