Anthropology: Guide to Library Collections and Services : Home

Welcome to the Research Guide for the Anthropology Collection at Cornell.  Explore the different pages of this guide to discover resources and explore services that the library can provide.

Olin Library houses the majority of materials in anthropology and its related disciplines, including history, archaeology, American Indian studies, government, linguistics, sociology, film, costume, folklore, women’s studies, and theatre, among others.

Area collections such as Latin American Studies, housed in the Olin stacks, and the Kroch Asia Library are major repositories of great importance to the pursuit of anthropological research.

The Map Collection in the Lower Level of Olin Library is another source of relevant material. Mann Library (physical and biological anthropology, primate studies, rural sociology), Music, Fine Arts, Africana, Law, and others will also provide further resources.

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.
