The Global Resources Network (GRN) is a collaborative initiative of CRL and higher academic research institutions to support international studies through the preservation and exchange of knowledge and source materials. GRN fosters, supports, and coordinates activities among North American and overseas participants to build new collections and enhance access to existing resources.

Global Resources Network Projects

GRN supports initiatives that expand access to international scholarly resources and promote coordinated collection building. The GRN provides assistance to ongoing, sustainable programs that support the study of world regions and subjects not sufficiently documented by the collections of North American institutions.
