Internet resources for China

VIA is a growing online union catalogue at Harvard
University Library, documenting the arts, material
culture,
and social history. It contains descriptive records and
images representing paintings, sculpture, photography,
drawings, prints, architecture, decorative arts, trade
cards, rubbings, theater designs, maps and plans from
participating archives, museums, libraries, and other
collections throughout Harvard University. Included are
thousands of digital images on China, Japan, and Korea.

The Harvard-Yenching Library holds some 5,000 photographs
and 10,000 negatives taken by Hedda Hammer Morrison (1908-
1991) while resident in Beijing from 1933 to 1946. All of
the photographs contained in the 28 albums assembled by
Hedda Morrison have been cataloged and digitized and can be
viewed in VIA (Visual Information Access), the union catalog
of visual resources at Harvard. This site provides
information about the collection and strategies for
effectively searching for Hedda Morrison photographs in VIA.

This database project studies the first wave of postcards
with a Chinese subject. Users not only find images of the
postcards, but also their historical context information
about what they are, who produced them and where, how they
were used, and what's their significance. The growing
collection focuses on early (1896-1920) postcards of China
with the bulk back to the time of the late imprial (before
1911). It has stopped updating in 2004 and the 462 images
the site hosts are available to view and download.

This project results from a collaboration between scholars
at the University of Bristol, University of Lincoln, the
Institut d'Asie Orientale and TGE-Adonis. It aims to locate,
archive, and disseminate photographs from the substantial
holdings of images of modern China held mostly in private
hands overseas.

The goal of the Image Database to Enhance Asian Studies
[IDEAS] is to unify digitizing efforts already in progress
at various campuses into a shared searchable database,
open
to anyone with access to the World Wide Web. IDEAS focuses
on the generally underrepresented area of Asia in an
attempt
to make multi-media materials more widely available for
specialists and non-specialists alike. IDEAS is the first
multi-institutional, interdisciplinary, pan-Asian
searchable
database in the country.

The index was compiled by His-chu Bolick (黃熹珠) and Ling-
k'uan Huang (黃齡寬) in 1996 because of the lack of access
tools to \ Guo Moruo quanji wenxue pian (郭沫若全集文學篇)\ at
the Academic Affairs Library of the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. It was compiled using the renmin
wenxue chubanshe 1982 edition of the \Wenxuepian\. Last
modification of the site was 1997. Some of the messages are
garbled.
