Resources on the Balkans
- The South-Eastern European collections have been maintained largely through exchanges with the national
libraries and the libraries of the Academies of Sciences of these countries supplemented by limited commercial purchases.
In addition, in the past many books and journals were obtained from the former Yugoslavia through
the Public Law-480 program. Memorial Library contains the works of most
of the major writers of Romania, Bulgaria, and the former Yugoslavia, and
the major works of history on this region. Scholars of Serbian history also have access to
the Komadinić Collection in Balkan social and political history.
This collection includes publications and pamphlets of peasant, socialist and other
radical movements of the last half of the nineteenth century up until World War II.
It consists of some 7,000 items, mostly in Serbo-Croatian, and is based on the private library of
Milan Komadinić (1882-1944), the founder and organizer of the zadrugarstvo, an early society
of cooperatives in Serbia. The collection was further developed by Slobodan
Komadinić (1912-1979), the son of Milan Komadinic, and was subsequently purchased
by the library. The collection is housed in the
Department of Special Collections, on the ninth floor of Memorial Library.
