‣ New Graduate Assistants
We are pleased to welcome two new graduate assistants—Kwang Tae Lee and Nicholas Walmsley—as well as research associate Aimee Dobbs to the SRIFIAS for the AY 2010-‐2011. Kwang Tae is a native of South Korea, where he studied at Seoul National University. Both he and Nick, who hails from Great Britain and the School of Oriental a n d A f r i c a n S t u d i e s , a r e specializing in Central Asian history. Aimee, who is earning her PhD in history at IU, has just returned from a summer in Georgia and Azerbaijan on an ARISC Fellowship, following a year in Azerbaijan on a Fulbright Fe l lowship for d issertat ion research.
‣ Major purchases with funds from IU’s Inner Asian and Uralic Nat ional Resource Center (IAUNRC)
Dictionaries: The SRIFIAS is recipient of some much needed language dictionaries—new and replacements. They are listed in the following pages with other recent acquisitions.
Imperial Russian Laws: We have purchased a digital version of the Полно е с о б р ани е з а к оно в Российской Империи , Ser. 1, 1 649 -‐ 1825 ( The Comp l e t e Collection of the Laws of the Russian Empire). The hifty volumes of this major source for the history of the Empire are available on an equal number of CDs, and may be viewed on both PC and Macintosh. Digitization is excellent, allowing users to view the pages of the collection at various resolutions without image degradation. While the collection does not have built-‐in search capability, we have printed a copy of the detailed thematic index with which users may identify all laws relating to their interests, listed by their ofhicial identifying numbers. Extracting separate enactments for saving as PDFs and/or printing is p o s s i b l e . T h i s c o l l e c t i o n complements the Wells Library microhiche version of Series 1.
A working set of the collection will be available for faculty and students in the library of the SRIFIAS (Goodbody 144). We anticipate allowing use of personal laptops to view the collection, although we hope to set up a dedicated computer for this purpose in the library.
JOTTINGS! PAGE3
In the coming academic year, the Institute hopes to purchase two supplemental editions of the PSZ that provide digital versions of Series 2 (covering 1825-‐1881) and Series 3 (covering 1881-‐1913). Prior to the start of the fall semester 2010, inquiries about the PSZ should be directed to the Institute Director. Following the start of the semester, the Institute graduate ass istants wi l l be available to provide assistance.
Cartography Software: The Institute has acquired a license for Viz Curious Maps™ (VCM) software that will enable us to produce cost-‐e f f e c t i ve cu s tom maps f o r academic, scholarly, and other professional uses. Of exceptional design, our maps can be tailored to the specihic needs of CEUS faculty and graduate students, with turn a r o u nd t im e o f 2 -‐ 5 d a y s , depending upon the complexity of the project and work hlow. In time, we hope to make this service available to other faculty with cartographical needs. For a sample of a map produced with the software, see page 6.
We w i l l mak e a v a i l a b l e a presentation of the software and its capabilities on the SRIFIAS website by the beginning of the fall semester. It will lay out the guidelines for working with VCM and the SRIFIAS staff.
‣ CEUS Colloquium
The SRIFIAS, along with CEUS and the IAUNRC, will sponsor the CEUS Colloquium for 2010-‐2011. As in past years, the Colloquium will meet on designated Wednesdays from 4:00-‐5:15 pm, with light refreshments served. The schedule
will be announced in the next issue of Jottings.
‣ AfBiliation with the Central Eurasian Studies Society
Beginning with the AY 2010-‐2011, the SRIFIAS will provide the organizational base for the Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS) for a four-‐year term. Ed Lazzerini will serve as Executive Director of CESS, and will be assisted by Aimee Dobbs through the initial year’s activities. In October 2012, the Institute will host CESS’s annual conference as it did in 2004.
