This handbook is designed to help researchers, journalists,
students, and business people to locate the rich array of
Washington institutions and organizations that focus on issues
pertaining to Central Asia and the Caucasus region, particularly in
the post-Soviet period. Washington's status as a major repository
of documentation on every aspect of the region is strong and
growing daily. Beyond the Library of Congress, which intensively
collects newspapers and other published materials from the region,
and the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, which does the same
for radio, there are hundreds of national and international public,
non-profit, and private organizations and institutions in
Washington with extensive links to Central Asia and the Caucasus,
all of which maintain active archives and collections. The Guide
includes more than 270 entries. It describes the structure and
scholarly and technical resources of libraries, archives and
manuscript repositories, museums and galleries, collections of
sound and visual recordings, map and film collections, and the
holdings of research centers and information agencies. Academic
programs and departments of the metropolitan area's many
institutions of higher learning are covered, along with
international organizations, U.S. and foreign government agencies,
association and advocacy groups, scientific organizations,
educational and cultural organizations, corporations, technical
assistance organizations, religious organizations, publications and
media operations, bookstores and online resources. An index of
organizations and institutions enhances the Guide's usefulness.
