Welcome to the Inner Asian & Uralic National Resource Center


In 1962, Indiana University’s Bloomington campus became home to the Uralic and Altaic Language and Area Center, which in 1981 was renamed the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center (IAUNRC). Over the last several decades, Indiana University has gathered leading specialists, impressive library collections, and other top-quality resources to create the nation’s premier program in Central Eurasian Studies. These resources support quality training and outreach programs that continue to serve the entire country. The IAUNRC is a United States Department of Education Title VI grant institution that coordinates these resources to increase understanding of all aspects of the diverse region and peoples of Azerbaijan, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Tibet, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Xinjiang.
