The Slavic and East European Materials Project (SEEMP) has preserved a large set of newspapers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.  These newspapers were collected by Dr. William Fierman, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University and extend the collection SEEMP preserved in 2016.  Microfilm copies of these newspapers are held at CRL and are available for members of SEEMP and CRL to borrow.

Akram Khabibullaev, Librarian for Middle Eastern, Islamic, and Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University, and Wook-Jin Cheun, Librarian for Slavic and East European Studies at Indiana University, assisted in getting these materials to SEEMP for preservation.
