Richard Charles Lee Canada Hong Kong Library

With approximately 71,000 volumes, including 2,500 periodical titles, 1,000 reels of microfilm, 7,000 newspaper clippings and an expanding collection of audio and visual materials, it is the largest research collection of its kind outside of Hong Kong. The collection focuses primarily on Hong Kong, Canada-Hong Kong relations, and Chinese Canadians.

The library provides a wide range of information and research services in support of teaching and research at the University of Toronto, including reference consultation, tours, presentations, exhibitions, and a Hong Kong seminar series.

In close collaboration with the Asian Institute, Chinese Canadian Studies Program and the Department of East Asian Studies, the library serves as an important link between the University and the external community, through cultural and educational events involving Hong Kong immigrants and Chinese community organizations.
