Hong Kong Journals Online (HKJO)
Hong Kong University Libraries, Hong Kong University, HK, China
Self-description: "Hong Kong Journals Online (HKJO) is a full-text image database providing access to selected academic and professional journals, both in English and Chinese, published in Hong Kong. Titles included in this database cover a wide range of disciplines including law, medicine and education. [...] Issues included in this database vary from journal to journal with the earliest going back to 1872. At its first release, more than 170,000 images from over 40 titles will be accessible on the database. More titles with permission granted for digitising their full text will be included to the database. New issues of the titles will also be added as soon as being received."
Supplied note: "In an excellent example of how materials can be made available more widely online in a non-commercial environment, the Special Collections section of the Hong Kong University Libraries has uploaded a good range of journals, mainly relating to Hong Kong, but with some having much broader appeal. H-Asia members will likely be particularly interested in:
The China Review, or notes & queries on the Far East (1872-1901); Chung Chi Journal (1961-1976); The Hong Kong naturalist: a quarterly illustrated journal principally for Hong Kong and South China (1930-1941); New Asia Academic Bulletin (1978-); New Asia Academic Annual (1959-1977); Journal of the Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (1961-). These are all available free online, apparently in their entirety, and can be searched. [...]
The HKU Libraries also provides the Hong Kong Government Reports Online (HKGRO) -- a full-text image database providing online access to pre-World War II issues of four major government publications, namely, Administrative Reports, Hong Kong Sessional Papers, Hong Kong Hansard and Hong Kong Government Gazette. These are searchable. Further details at: http://sunzi1.lib.hku.hk/hkgro/
Lastly, the Historical Laws of Hong Kong, a searchable full-text image database providing access to past revised editions of Hong Kong Laws, is also available through the Library, at:
http://sunzi.lib.hku.hk/pls/oelawhk2/main.m?SID=
Other electronic data-bases can be found at: http://www.lib.hku.hk/database/
These are all wonderful resources! . - gw."

The Gertrude Bell Project
The Robinson Library, Univ. of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Self-description: " [Gertrude Bell (1868-1926) has worked for] British Intelligence during the First World War, later, as a Political Officer, and then as Oriental Secretary to the High Commissioner in Baghdad, she became a king-maker in the new state of Iraq, which she had helped to create. [...]
The Gertrude Bell papers consist of about 1,600 detailed and lively letters to her parents, of her 16 diaries, which she kept while she was travelling, and of c. 40 packets of miscellaneous items. There are also about 7000 photographs, taken by her c.1900-1918. Those of Middle Eastern archaeological sites are of great value because they record structures which have since been eroded or, in some cases, have disappeared altogether, while those of the desert tribes are of considerable anthropological and ethnographical interest. The letters and diaries, but not the miscellaneous material, were transcribed in automated form between 1982 and 1988, and a catalogue of the photographs was published in 1982, with a second edition in 1985.
The Gertrude Bell Project: The University of Newcastle upon Tyne Library has undertaken a 4 year project to check and complete the transcription of the manuscripts, to recatalogue and digitise the photographs, and to build a WWW for the finished archive."

[Extract: "India finds itself a prisoner of its own unwise and unwarranted over-anxiety for a thaw in Indo-Pakistan relations.
