The Hadler Family donated 3,733 volumes of books, journals, wall maps, and posters, and 16 linear feet of course readers, research files, and archival materials on Southeast Asia and beyond that Professor Hadler collected over the past three decades. The Jeffrey Alan Hadler Collection covers extensive holdings on core interdisciplinary Southeast Asian studies. The subject areas include cultural anthropology; political history of post-World War II; social and religious history, especially on Islam; Indonesian art; literature; travel literature; language studies; Minangkabau studies; and the colonial era of Dutch East Indies studies -- all of which will augment Berkeley's globally-renowned Southeast Asia collection.
About 80 percent of the Jeffrey Alan Hadler Collection is in English and the rest is in Indonesian, Malay, Dutch, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and Jawi (the Arabic alphabet for writing Malay). The bulk of the collection covers research and academic imprints and most of the materials were published in the United States, the Netherlands, and Indonesia, from the second half of the 20th century to 2016.
The Jeffrey Alan Hadler Collection on Southeast Asia will offer an extraordinary resource for the scholarly community in Southeast Asian studies locally and globally through interlibrary loans. Ultimately, the collection will reinforce the University Library's mission to enhance public understanding of Southeast Asia.
This exhibition highlights a few samples of Professor Hadler's gift books on contemporary Southeast Asian art and his favorite comic books.
