your portal to academic libraries across the Pacific Rim. PRL provides access to metadata records of unique and historically important artifacts–including books, audiovisual materials, artworks and more. The collections on PRL are curated by members of the Pacific Rim Research Library Alliance (PRRLA) to enhance discovery, create a shared resource, and promote the use of PRRLA collections. PRL was developed and is hosted by the UCLA Library.
Our Vision
The Pacific Rim Library (PRL) improves global access to digital scholarly materials with strong research and teaching value for its member communities and beyond.
Join
PRL aggregates digital content and metadata from participating PRRLA member institutions. If your institution is interested in joining PRRLA and contributing to the Pacific Rim Library, you can read about the membership process online.
PRL’s collections are open access materials that represent the depth and diversity of the historical and cultural resources of PRRLA’s academic and research libraries.
