Description: Definitions, photos, resources, links, journals and Digital Library (129 results for "Myanmar OR Burma"; 21 results for "Rohingya"). The documents tend to be very heavy pdf image files. "The FMO digital library is a unique online resource. It contains approximately 3,000 full-text documents in electronic format which can be searched, read online and printed as required. The documents have been selected from the library of the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford and Tufts' University Fletcher School and Feinstein Famine Center and include both recent and historical grey (unpublished) literature and research materials. In future, the Digital Library will include further documents from Tufts' University Fletcher School and Feinstein Famine Center together with collections from Columbia University's Program on Forced Migration and The Refugee Studies Program at The American University in Cairo. In addition, full-text articles from back issues of key journals in the field will be available."
