Formosa: Nineteenth Century Images
Reed College, Portland, OR, USA
Supplied note: "This digital library gathers together a large body of primarily
European and American images of the island of Taiwan - called "Formosa" by
manyforeign visitors in the 19th Century - and its various peoples. These
woodcuts, maps, linguistic data and textual representations were originally
published in European and North American books and journals during the 19th
Century but are not easily accessible to those interested in the history of
Taiwan. Note: A fast internet connection and a higher quality monitor are
suggester for users of this site."
Site contents: Introduction; Maps [90+ maps]; Texts [approx 30 electronic
texts]; Images [100+ woodcuts]; Linguistic Data [seven tables of word lists];
Timeline [under construction]; Search; Feedback; Credits.
[A great site, alas overdependent on fancy Java programming. It can be illegible
or crash, when viewed with browsers earlier than Netscape 4.6.- ed.]
