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.

Supplied note:
"Aceh Digital Library now Online! The devastating tsunami that struck Aceh on 26 December 2004 caused thousands of victims but also destroyed important libraries in Banda Aceh. The Royal Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) initiated a project to digitize a major part of the literature on Aceh that is kept in the KITLV Library. The Dutch Ministry of Education generously financed this project and the Royal Library of the Netherlands supervised the digitization process.
[...]
The titles listed are books about Aceh in a variety of languages such as Indonesian, Acehnese, English, Dutch, as well as other European languages. At present 656 files are available in digital form in pdf format on the website. More titles are to follow in the course of 2009. - gvk."
