The central mission of the Centre is to promote anthropological research
in and about Thailand, and to support Thai scholars in anthropology and
the social sciences. As a result, the Centre primarily focuses on
serving the Thai academic community and promoting Thai language
scholarship.
However, as we continue to expand, our goal is to reach out to the
international community of scholars by making more or our resources
available on the internet and accessible to an English-speaking
audience. To achieve this goal, we are currently working to translate
more of our on-line databases and resources into English. If you have a
suggestion, please contact us and let us know how we can better serve
you and other researchers working on projects in and about Thailand!
For foreign scholars and students who can speak and read Thai, we hope
that the English language version of the website will help you to search
more quickly and to more easily identify those documents and resources
that are relevant to your work.
For those scholars and students who do not speak or read Thai, we are
working to make more of our resources available in English for you.
Please let us know how we are doing!

About Us
The Centre was initiated in 1991 by Silpakorn University in
commemoration of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri
Sirindhorn's 36th birthday anniversary to fullfil her wish to have a
national institution responsible for systematic gathering,
processing and servicing of anthropological data scattered
throughout the country. The Centre became an independent government
agency under the Ministry of Universities in 2000.
