The International Studies Resource Center is located on the second floor of the Hesburgh Library on the campus of The University of Notre Dame. Affiliated with both the Reference Department, and Government Documents Center, the ISRC houses a collection of subject specific material for the study and advancement of international politics, economics and human rights.
Primarily devoted to news related sources, the ISRC 's main collection is a Clipping Collection dating back to 1961. The events of the Cold War are highlighted here, as are the events preceding and succeeding the fall of the Berlin Wall. All countries of the world are covered, with emphasis on each country's politics as they relate to global ramifications, human rights and the growing global economy.
Since January 1, 1998, the Clipping Collection has migrated from the paper copies to an online resource found within this site. This nature of the collection is the same. It does, however, provide access to more newspapers from around the globe, thereby widening our focus. Click here to go to the Clipping Collection On-line.
In order to better serve specific undergraduate research on The Americas, Western Europe, and Asia, we have added a new page devoted to links covering the politics and cultures of these regions. Please go to the Subject Page to see the links. (The links are updated regularly. So please come back often!)
