Princeton University. Dept. of East Asian Studies.
The Department of Oriental Studies was formed at Princeton University in the spring of 1927 as the Department of Oriental Languages and Literature. It offered an interdisciplinary curriculum centered on the study of Chinese and Japanese language, history, and literature. The Program in East Asian Studies drew heavily on the Gest Oriental Library. In 1969, the Department of Oriental Languages and Literature was reorganized into the separate Departments of Near Eastern Studies and East Asian Studies. The records consist of websites produced by the department.
