Named after scholar and preservationist Elling Oliver Eide (1935–2012), the Center’s mission is to advance scholarly research in the humanities and environmental sciences with a particular emphasis on Asian studies. The Center houses one of the most significant private collections of East Asian literature in the United States, as well as one of the last remaining reserves of biodiversity in an increasingly urbanized Florida coastline. Our approach to scholarship, grounded in nature, provides students and scholars with unique opportunities to address critical questions at the intersection of culture, climate, and conservation.At the heart of Elling’s vision for the Eide Center is the Eide Library, a private, independent, non-profit, non-circulating, research library. The Eide Preserve surrounds the library and grounds the collection, research, and operations in nature. Management of the Eide Preserve is guided by a Management Plan, which, when acted upon, will protect, restore, and enhance Elling’s nature preserve, with significant ecological impacts far beyond its fences and shoreline.Volunteers help further our mission and vision.Eide Center MissionOur mission is to advance scholarly research in the humanities and environmental sciences with a particular emphasis on Asian studies.Eide Center VisionOur vision is to leverage the unique strengths of our natural setting and advance interdisciplinary research in new ways to benefit scholarly communities worldwide.
