"Understanding Roma"

Core Collection Development Program (1999)

In 1999, a collection of books entitled "Understanding Roma" was offered by the OSI Network Library Program (NLP) to libraries and other institutions in Central and Eastern Europe.

The NLP, the Center for Publishing Development and the OSI Internet Program were replaced by the Information Program in 2001. The list of titles in the "Understanding Roma" collection is included here for reference purposes only, and the contact information for recipient institutions is no longer being updated.
