Abstract	Since the establishment of Ohio University's Southeast Asian Studies program in 1967, the university library has worked to develop its Southeast Asia Collection. Following a recent loss of federal funding, the library turned to alternative sources of funding for the collection, including interim emergency funding and project grants from the university and a special allocation through the endowment for the Tun Abdul Razak Chair for Southeast Asian Studies. With so few collections offering any depth on Southeast Asia, each of the collections is de facto a national resource center. Libraries with such collections should explore various sources of funding, including their university administration; private, corporate, and foundation donors; Southeast Asian sources; other international sources; and the federal government, especially Title VI of the Higher Education Act. Other areas of concern for all Southeast Asian Collections include the ability of researchers to have access to information; the potential loss of ephemeral materials as researchers retire; and the proliferation of formats in which materials must be collected. In response to these concerns, the Southeast Asia Research Institute (SRI) is being developed at Ohio University. The acquisitions budget and funds for Ohio University's Southeast Asia Collection are presented in two graphs; references are provided; and information about the Tun Abdul Razak Chair is appended.
