URL.: http://sunzi1.lib.hku.hk/hkjo/ Language: English; some journals in the database are to be searched in Chinese (traditional). 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. [...] - gw.
