The union catalog of the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) under the auspices of the Digital Library for International Research (DLIR) represents the collective holdings of 39 libraries at member American overseas research centers and local partner libraries and archives. Each library or archive has a dedicated online public access page so their catalogs can be searched individually as well as across all the member collections. Funding for the startup of this project was provided by the U.S. Department of Education's Technological Innovation and Cooperation for Foreign Information Access (TICFIA) program.
