The Richard Charles Lee Canada-Hong Kong Library (Chinese: 利銘澤典宬) is part of the University of Toronto Libraries system. It features a unique research collection on Canada-Hong Kong studies. Located inside Robarts Library at the University of Toronto St. George Campus, the Library provides resources and space to accommodate the continuous growth of research interest in Hong Kong, and its relation to Canada and other regions in the world. The library is open to the public.
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, the Richard Charles Lee Canada-Hong Kong Library collection is the largest research collection for Hong Kong and Canada-Hong Kong studies outside of Hong Kong.[1] The collection focuses primarily on Hong Kong, Canada-Hong Kong relations, and Chinese Canadians. Materials are available to use in the library only.
The Library provides a wide range of information and research services in support of teaching, learning, research and other academic initiatives at the University of Toronto. Services include 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 of the University of Toronto, 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.
