Antique Chinese Porcelain Collector's Help and Info Page 
Description: Although this site also contains a commercial part, the information on the world of Chinese and Japanese ceramics is of very good quality. There is a section on marks (including historic and modern imitations), a glossary with more than 500 entries, a chapter on the Swedish India Company and the excavation of the Gotheborg, an annotated list of books on ceramics, and an active discussion list (requires registration), to name just a few. A drawback is the sheer size of the site and the lack of a clear defined sub-structure. One can easily get lost or end up in frames that load instead of the navigation. Despite these flaws it is a very useful resource.

Description: A sequence of 24 Chinese propaganda posters (including a few stamps), collected by Olivier Laude, editor of the Atlas Magazine, and showing "images of revolutionaries, babies with peaches, generals on horses and babies with fishes" "These posters are used to decorate the walls of schools, private homes and government institutions. They are produced by the central government in Beijing and reflect the many political changes of the past 47 years of communist rule. They are in many ways a very good historical record of theeconomic, political and social turmoils China has undergone since 1949. They also are tools of the central government's propaganda machine" (from Olivier Laude's introduction to "Chinese Pop Posters"). The site has an informative introduction, and most of the posters are commented on. Unfortunately no general index is provided, so you have to browse the posters one by one.

Description: This interesting database currently (29 Jan 2005) contains 226 documents, comprising text documents and about 30 photographs, mostly from the Menzies Asian Special Collection. The documents are pdf scans of speeches and addresses, many hand-written. This is probably why no text is available in full-text, a major draw back of the database. Consequently, the search is limited to the metadata, which one would wish to be even more detailed. "Title" (in pinyin), "Subject", "Description", and "Creator" are the searchable fields, with each word in the Description field linked to the search-function. Users can mark single items as Favourite, lists of these Favourites are generated in html and may be mailed or put online.
