Library

The ACMS Library offers unparalleled resources to scholars, students, and members of the general public.

Since its establishment, the ACMS’s library collection has grown significantly due to generous donations from public and private donors. As of 2020, the library contains over 5,000 volumes of books related to Mongolian Studies and disciplines with an active presence in the region such as anthropology, archaeology, economics, public health, political science, and biology.

The ACMS library collection is one of the best in the country with hundreds of rare and important books that span from late 19th century to the present day. The majority of items in the collection are written in English, but the collection also includes items written in Mongolian Cyrillic, Mongol Script, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, and other languages.

The website includes visitor information about the Library in Ulaanbaatar, access to the online library catalog, a collection of online databases and digital archives, and research guides on a variety of topics related to the study of Mongolia.

In addition to print materials, the ACMS library provides the only public access in Mongolia to the online database JSTOR, which contains full-text copies of articles from over 200 academic journals. Access to JSTOR is only available for ACMS Members.
