Slavonic and East European Area Studies LibGuideThis guide is intended for students and researchers studying Slavonic and East European Studies at the University of Oxford, although students and researchers from any field may find it useful.
The ongoing war in Ukraine means that some of the sources we indicate here may cause offence or distress. As the Collection Management Policy explains, our purpose is to provide the material our users need - whether or not this material accords with the convictions of staff members. We remind users to attend to their wellbeing, as they pursue their study of this region - and to address any questions or concerns to Eleanor Peers, the Subject Consultant.
There is some overlap between Slavonic and East European Area Studies and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, because the Tsarist Empire and Soviet Union incorporated territories in the Caucasus and Central Asia. Please also contact Eleanor Peers about material with a primary focus on the Tsarist Empire, Soviet Union, or contemporary Eurasia, even if it is written or published in the Caucasus or Central Asia. The University's main collections on Central Asia and the Caucasus in particular are in the Nizami Ganjavi Library; you will find more information in the Subject Guide on the Caucasus and Central Asia.
