About the library:
The Joseph Regenstein Library was constructed between 1967 and 1970, and is built on the site of the original Stagg Field, which was the athletic field for the University of Chicago from 1892 until construction began on the library.
The Regenstein Library collections focus primarily on subjects in the humanities and social sciences, as well as business, divinity, and area studies.
For more information on the Japanese collection, please contact Ayako Yoshimura at (773) 702-8434 or by email.

The University of Chicago's Japanese Collection is particularly strong in the humanities and social sciences, with recent focuses on expanding the collection in the fields of art history, cinema and media, intellectual history, and literature.
