The institute regularly holds conferences and research seminars to promote the exchange of knowledge. What humanities scholars require is rich information. The University has a number of units to support their research. The Universities Service Centre for China Studies prides itself on having one of the most extensive collection of a great variety of materials on contemporary China. The Rare Book Room of the University Library houses invaluable titles. Our Chinese Music Archive and Chinese Opera Information Centre boast collections of precious records, scripts, and other audiovisual materials. All these units are strong backing for humanities researchers at CUHK. Respec ting the Univer sit y ’s emphasis on the humanities, the consultant of the University’s Campus Master Planning has proposed to turn the area around the Fung King Hey Building and Leung Kau Kui Building to an arts and humanities hub. With such careful tending, humanities research at CUHK will surely continue to bear fruit.
