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.

Images from the History of Medicine (IHM) is a database of
over 70,000 images in the U.S. National Library of
Medicine's historical collections. The collections include
portraits, photographs, fine prints, caricatures, genre
scenes, posters, and other graphic art, which illustrate
the social and historical aspects of medicine from the
Middle Ages to the present. Subjects range from medieval
medical practice and 19th-century slum conditions to World
War I hospitals and the international fight against drug
abuse and AIDS. That said, the majority of the images date
back to earlier time periods from before World War II. The
geographical coverage of the database is international,
but the majority of the images is sourced from Europe and
the United States.

Constituting a visual record of early European contacts
with Asia and Africa, Images of Colonialism Collection is
a primary visual resource for historical and socio-
cultural studies. Made up largely of late-19th and early-
20th century trade cards and illustrated European
newspapers, this collection of more than 700 images offers
insight into European perspectives on varying aspects of
colonial experience by documenting how popular perceptions
of Asia and Africa were created and disseminated. The
collection can also be used to draw contrasts between
colonial attitudes among the French, British, German, and
Dutch colonizers and the realities in the colonies.

Immigration to the United States, 1789-1930, is a web-
based collection of historical materials from Harvard's
libraries, archives, and museums that documents voluntary
immigration to the United States from the signing of the
Constitution to the onset of the Great Depression.
Concentrating heavily on the 19th century, Immigration to
the US includes over 400,000 pages from more than 2,200
books, pamphlets, and serials, over 9,600 pages from
manuscript and archival collections, and more than 7,800
photographs. By incorporating diaries, biographies, and
other writings capturing diverse experiences, the
collected material provides a window into the lives of
ordinary immigrants.

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.

Lat Pau, the longest running Chinese daily during pre-War
Singapore, was started by Mr See Ewe Lay in December 1881
and lasted 52 years before it finally ceased in March 1932.
Lat Pau is an invaluable historical source for research into
pre-war Singapore as well as Chinese overseas during that
period. Unfortunately the earliest issues of the newspaper
were lost and now the issues extant at the system cover only
the period August 19 1887 to March 31 1932.
