Ohio University hosts one of the largest collections of Southeast Asian materials — a number of which hail from the nation of Malaysia. Though exact numbers are hard to give as to how many works are from the country, it is estimated that tens of thousands of materials have been given to Alden Library by the National Library of Malaysia, said Jeffrey Ferrier, head of the Southeast Asia Collection. Those donations, which include works from governmental bodies and universities, are only a fraction of the total collection, which is housed on the first floor of Alden.
