Historical Note
Although not officially established as a Department until the 1960s, Uralic and Altaic
Studies has a long history on campus. During World War II, an Army Specialized Training
Program for Central Eurasian studies began at IU. Later, a program in Uralic-Altaic was
established within the Graduate School. Growing interest led to the establishment of a
full Department in 1966. Although the original focus of Uralic and Altaic Studies was
language and linguistics training, it was not long before faculty decided to widen its
scope and began teaching and performing research in area subjects. In 1993 the name was
changed to the Department of Central Eurasian Studies.
Arrangement
The collection is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Scope and Content Note
