Background

edit

Of the seven libraries in the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the Chung Chi Library was first built in 1951 with its home at St. John's Cathedral Library. In 1956, it moved to the Ma Liu Shui campus. With a donation through the Henry Luce Foundation in the United States of America, the present library was named after Elisabeth Luce Moore and moved the last time to the Chung Chi College campus in 1971.

Resources

Collections in the Elisabeth Luce Moore Library are especially specialized out of all university libraries found in CUHK. Other than recognized music and religion collections, there are also collections of Western literature and languages, Japanese literature and language, philology and linguistics, education and sports science.
