 ''The East Asian Library has its origins over one hundred years ago, when a donation to Columbia was made to establish a [[Department of Chinese]]. The Trustees approved the addition, and in 1902 Frederick Hirth was appointed the first Professor of Chinese at Columbia, as well as the first curator of the Chinese book collection.''

On behalf of the Empress Dowager, Columbia University was given the 5,044-volume encyclopedia, [[Qingding Gujin Tushu Jicheng|Qingding Gujin Tushu Jicheng]], which was received early in 1902, forming the foundation of the Chinese collection.
