Abstract
The Central Eurasian Information Resource(CEIR) is a multi-media database cooperatively developed by the University of Washington, South Seattle Community College, and The Evergreen State College. It is designed to provide web-based access to a range of location-specific statistical, image, and full-text information for the regions of the Russian Federation and other former Soviet republics. Particular emphasis is given to the development of graded curricular materials to assist with the application of the resources in college and high school classrooms.
