The '''Hilandar Research Library''' (HRL), located in the [[William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library|Thompson Library]] on the campus of [[Ohio State University]], has the largest collection of medieval Slavic manuscripts on microform in the world.

==Hilandar Research Library Collection==
The collection is composed of microform material from more than 100 different private, museum, and library collections in dozens of countries.  It includes many [[Cyrillic]] manuscripts on microform, the majority from various monasteries on [[Mount Athos|Mount Athos, Greece]], including the entire Slavic collection of the [[Hilandar Monastery]].  The library also contains a 100,000 volume reference collection.  The entire collection can be viewed in the Jack and Jan Creighton Special Collections Reading Room (Thompson Library).<ref>{{cite web|title=The Hilandar Research Library|url=http://library.osu.edu/hrl|publisher=Ohio State University|access-date=2 October 2013}}</ref>  The HRL shares its space with the Resource Center for Medieval Slavic Studies (RCMSS).
