Dear Reader,

The ASIAN STUDIES WWW MONITOR
(including all its subsidiary (and/or sister) pages on "coombs.anu.edu.au" server) has permanently ceased its publishing operations on Friday 21st January 2011.

All of the online resources reported here have been thoroughly checked at the time of their listing. However, it is possible that, with the with the passage of time, many of the originally reported materials might have been removed from the Internet, or changed their online address, or varied the scope and quality of their contents.

Fortunately, in several cases it is possible to access many of the older versions of the resources listed in the MONITOR. This can be easily done via the free services of the "The Internet Archive" http://web.archive.org/, a remarkable brainchild of Brewster Kahle, San Francisco, CA.

- with warm regards -

Editor, Dr T. Matthew Ciolek.

A Virtual Village [in the State of Bihar, India]

Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT, US

Supplied note:
"Mathew Schmalz (College of the Holy Cross [mschmalz--at--holycross.edu]) and I designed [...'A Virtual Village',] a free pedagogical tool [...] that allows students to interactively explore the social worlds of a north Indian village through its material culture. This free, online website provides a variety of background materials regarding the pseudonymic 'Arampur,' including updates on changes to its physical conditions. But the central feature allows students to virtually 'roam' within this village in the state of Bihar through a series of interconnected images. Hotspots on the scenes allow the user to enter buildings, closely examine objects, and 'interview' residents with a list of prescribed questions.

As they roam, students can observe how the many communities in Arampur express their identities through the images, buildings, apparel, and household objects found in streets, homes, stores, and places of worship. Moreover, users can also witness through the interviews how individuals may belong simultaneously not to one but to many communities. These experiences help destabilize the prevailing bifurcation of 'Hindu' and 'Muslim.' -pg."

London Missionary Society collection online

The National Library of Australia, Canberra, Australia

Supplied note:
"Newly digitized resources on late Qing China - I was excited to learn this week that the London Missionary Society collection of Chinese books at the National Library of Australia is now digitized and accessible on the web through the Library's catalogue. See [the URL below]. There are 539 items listed - most or all of that collection.
The collection is mostly of printed books collected by the LMS missionaries in China in the late Qing period, including Christian tracts and mission publications on scientific topics, but also many non-mission books, some manuscript items, Taiping editions, and Japanese editions of missionary publications in Chinese. Some of these are very rare or possibly unique copies of the work in question. Examples include the first edition of Hobson's _Quanti xinlun_ (Anatomy, 1851), which contains a different set of diagrams than the version subsequently printed in Shanghai; the first edition of Alexander Wylie and Li Shanlan's _Tan tian_ (Astronomy, 1859), also with different content and illustrations than the better-known second edition, and many other examples.
For me this is thrilling news, and I expect it will be for other researchers with related interests also. Congratulations to the National Library of Australia for having the foresight to invest the resources required to preserve these rare Chinese materials in digital form, and for making them available to researchers all over the world! [...] Ryan Dunch, University of Alberta."

Self-description:
"The London Missionary Society was founded in 1795 during the evangelical revival as a non-denominational body dedicated to spreading the Christian faith around the world. It was largely associated with the Congregationalist movement in England and the United States. The National Library [of Australia - ed.] has developed extensive holdings of English language books and microforms about its activities particularly as they relate to Australia, the Pacific and Asia. - Andrew Gosling, 'Religion and rebellion in China: the London Missionary Society collection', July 1998, [http://www.nla.gov.au/asian/pub/aglms1.html] ."
