I am back in the US for a few weeks. I’m writing this sitting in my favorite Butler library hangout in Columbia University, where I am visiting friends for a few days.
C. W. Hayford has posted a wonderful collection of links at Asian History Carnival #18.
One of the many things he noted is what looks like an interesting new journal with articles available free online: Taiwan in Comparative Perspective.
He also noted that the Gutenberg-e collection of online dissertations is now Open Access!! This is wonderful news as there are some very interesting dissertations hosted here. If the project was still ongoing I think I would have applied for my own as-yet-unwritten dissertation to be considered. Here is one of hte Gutenberg-e projects pointed to by Professor Hayford: How Taiwan Became Chinese.
Funny you should mention How Taiwan Became Chinese, I just met Peter Kant for the first time yesterday. He’s cited in HTBC and is an important figure in early Taiwan contact research.
Interesting. Well, it is great all those gutenberg-e dissertations are now freely viewable.
