Background

Of the 7 libraries in the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the Chung Chi Library was first built in 1951 with its home at St. John’s Cathedral Library. In 1956, it moved to the Ma Liu Shiu campus. With donation through the Henry Luce Foundation in the United States of America, the present library was named after Mrs. Elisabeth Luce Moore and moved the last time to the Chung Chi College campus in 1971.

Resources

Collections in the Elisabeth Luce Moore Library are especially specialized out of all university libraries found in CUHK. Other than recognized music and religion collections, there are also collections of Western literature and languages, Japanese literature and language, philology and lingustics, education and sports science. All collected works are supported by the Departments of Music, Religion, English, Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies, Japanese Studies and Faculty of Education in the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

In addition, the Library provides resources like theses, newspaper, together with ERIC documents and out-of-print materials on Music and Religion. To be specialized in education, Instructional Materials Collections, which is the collection of teaching materials for all secondary and primary schools' subjects of Hong Kong, can also be found in the Elisabeth Luce Moore Library.
