A cross-disciplinary center at the University of Michigan for the study of the languages, history, culture, and contemporary society of South and Southeast Asia. This record group documents the administration of the Center and some of the programs and research activities it sponsored. Also included are materials from the Center for South Asian Studies and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, following the administrative split of the Center in fall, 1999.

The Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies record group documents the administrative and academic activities of the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies between 1961 and 1999. It also documents the activities of the two proceeding centers, the Center for South Asian Studies (CSAS) and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS). Because the Centers had their own budgets and administrative needs well before they split in 1999, and because the Centers share office space, staff, and executive committees as of 2023, the records remain combined in this collection, despite being administratively distinct in the University hierarchy.

The collection is divided into five series: Administrative Records, Funding, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Programs and Conferences, and Publications. The Administrative Records series covers staffing and Center topical files complied by CSSEAS related to the administrative activities of the Centers. The Funding series includes information about budgets, grants and grant proposals, and financial gifts for the academic programs run by the Centers. The Center for Southeast Asian Studies series covers the administrative and funding records for the newly established center starting in 1999. The collection currently does not contain administrative materials from the Center from South Asian Studies; information about that center post-1999 can be found in Programs and Conferences, and Publications.

Programs and Conferences covers the academic and community events, as well as conference proceedings, sponsorships, and participation by CSSEAS, and later, CSAS and CSEAS. The bulk of this material dates from 1972 until the 2000s. The Publications series encompasses all publications created by the Centers or its faculty and students for promotional, professional, or educational purposes. It includes directories, course listings, newsletters, book chapters, and manuscripts from CSSEAS, CSAS, and CSEAS.
