"The Gerald Warner Taiwan Images Collection, [...] has been re-structured and augmented (considerably). The new version is titled 'The East Asia Image Collection'
From Website: The East Asia Image Collection is an open-access archive of digitized photographs, negatives, postcards, and slides of colonial Taiwan (1900-1945) and occupied Japan (1947-52). The Collection is built around a core of visual materials donated to Lafayette College Skillman Library Special Collections by the family of Gerald and Rella Warner. Images unique to this collection include the Warners' unpublished slides and negatives, made from snapshots taken during their years of US State Department service in Asia (1932-1952). Rare materials include prewar picture postcards, high-quality commercial prints, and colonial era picture books. In its current state, the collection consists primarily of images, many unpublished, of colonial Taiwan. It also contains 567 color slides from occupied Japan. We shall be adding unpublished images from 1930s Japan, North and NE China, and Indonesia in the coming months. - pdb."
