Chinatownology is dedicated to the history, heritage and culture of Singapore Chinatown and Chinatowns around the world. In this website, you can find articles on the history, culture and events in Singapore Chinatown, and Chinatowns around the world. We use Chinatowns as a platform to explore and to understand the development of overseas Chinese 华侨 societies, its food culture and material culture. You can find things to do, places to eat and shop. These establishments may or may not be in Chinatown but are related to the cultural development of overseas Chinese. A visit to any Chinatown is always visually exciting and interesting. But to connect yourself to the spirit of the Chinatown and its historical memories, you need to know its history and embrace its shared memories. Chinatownology is a work-in-progress website. Chinatowns have a long history and means different things to different people. Full documentation of Chinatowns is a never ending process. That is why we decide to develop this website as a work-in-progress project.

These web pages present the life story of Jan Palach, a student of the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague who set himself on fire in Wenceslas Square on 16 January 1969. By this shocking act, he wanted to arouse the Czech public from lethargy following the August invasion of Czechoslovakia. Palach’s protest caused extraordinary reaction both in the Czech Republic and abroad. To this day, Jan Palach’s name is known worldwide. The above-mentioned events are introduced on these web pages in different ways. The pages contain historical texts, period photos, and archival documents. You may also familiarize yourself with Palach’s legacy through film, television and radio documentaries. The website is available in Tibetan language as well (among others).

The British Library has launched a beta-version Shared Research Repository for cultural and heritage organisations, after announcing a pilot project last year. The shared research repository is created in collaboration with our five project partners who are all UK cultural and heritage organisations: the British Museum, Tate, National Museums Scotland (NMS), MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology), and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The British Library and its project partners are all Independent Research Organisations, this means we undertake significant research, but research is not our main function; we share the need to make our research more discoverable, and the creation of the Shared Research Repository will transform how this research can be found and used. Our research Our organisations are research active, working with partners both nationally and internationally. Our research informs and supports almost every aspect of our work, be it curation, conservation, preservation, resource discovery, digital innovation or learning. Whether it’s a major exhibition or a new way to discover or understand a unique part of our collections, it has been enabled by staff research. The shared research repository allows open access to research undertaken by the five partners and the British Library, ensuring that research gains exposure, is discoverable, and is used by anyone to support and further their own research. The shared repository allows users to search across the combined content, meaning that common research topics and collaborative activities can be discovered and explored through a single search. Search the Shared Research Repository For example, a researcher exploring written scripts in historic documents may be interested in the digitised indexes of the British Library’s Hebrew manuscripts, the development of Pictish written symbols (NMS) and excavated Roman writing tablets as recorded by MOLA. Similarly, the scientific research on plant species by Kew staff might be complemented by fossil reports from NMS or interpretation of the plants presented in botanical drawings held by Tate or the British Museum. Material such as journal articles, conference papers, books and book chapters, reports, datasets, exhibition texts, images and blog posts all produced by our staff and research associates are now available to explore and download. Where the full item cannot be added, metadata about the research output is provided together with a link to the full item held elsewhere. The repository currently holds just a selection of outputs to give a flavour of our research activities, with many more to be added in the coming months. The British Library's repository The material in the British Library’s own repository relates to research around our printed, digital and heritage collections, our exhibitions, new forms of research, and our major role in library infrastructure activities. For example, our public exhibitions involve many hours of work to prepare, research and interpret collection items for the displays and gallery texts, and these form unique research outputs. Datasets generated through new forms of research include outputs such as XML transcriptions of ancient digitised texts used for training in optical character recognition. And library infrastructural activities include articles and reports written by our colleagues around book conservation, digital preservation and international co-operation. Find out more about collaborative research activities at the British Library, or download our latest annual Research Report. And start exploring the Library's research repository now. Shared repository The Shared Research Repository consists of individual repositories for each partner plus a shared layer offering a single point of access to the combined content. Each partner is responsible for depositing and managing their own content, while the overall repository service is managed the British Library and is currently a beta service. The next few months will see all partners continuing to add more research outputs, and we will assess the impact of making our research discoverable and available for use by researchers everywhere. If all goes well we’ll be looking at how we can extend the service both in the volume of content available, and the number and range of partner organisations including beyond the cultural sector. Do get in touch if you'd like to find out more.

Sponsored by Penn State’s Department of Asian Studies, the Global Asias Initiative encompasses several interrelated projects that bring into relation, but not necessarily into alignment, work in Asian Studies, Asian American Studies, and Asian Diaspora Studies. Under the direction of Tina Chen, the Initiative cultivates multi-disciplinary collaboration through the work of an award-winning journal, Verge: Studies in Global Asias; the biennial Global Asias conference; and the annual Global Asias Summer Institute. Deeply transnational and transhistorical in scope, Verge is committed to generating thematic and conceptual links among the disciplines and regional/area studies formations that address Asia in a variety of particularist (national, subnational, individual) and generalist (national, regional, global) modes. The Global Asias conferences bring scholars from around the country and the world to participate in lively intellectual exchange while the Summer Institutes are designed to provide mentorship and support for junior colleagues. Collectively, these projects study Asia and its diasporas, East to West, across and around the Pacific, from a variety of humanistic perspectives—anthropology, art history, literature, history, sociology, and political science—in order to develop comparative analyses that recognize Asia’s place(s) in the development of global culture and history.

The easy-to-use getaway to historical maps in libraries around the world. OldMapsOnline developed out of a love of history and heritage of old maps. The project began as a collaboration between Klokan Technologies GmbH, Switzerland and The Great Britain Historical GIS Project based at the University of Portsmouth, UK thanks to funding from JISC. Since January 2013 is the project improved and maintained by volunteers and the team of Klokan Technologies GmbH in their free time.

The University of Texas Libraries collects and preserves the finest achievements of human knowledge in support of not only research and instruction needs, but also the exploration of ideas and intellectual innovation. We are proud to provide access to geospatial data from our collections as well as the shared collections of other universities for researchers, scholars, educators, and the general public through this portal. You will find a wide variety of data types available for download including georeferenced scanned maps from the Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection, vector datasets developed from collections in the Alexander Architectural Archives, geospatial data from the Benson Latin American Collection, and more. These datasets represent just some of the geospatial resources found in the UT Libraries’ collections. Additional datasets will continue to be added to this portal as they are processed. The Texas GeoData portal has been developed with a mix of open source solutions and commercial off-the-shelf technology, including GeoBlacklight 2.0.0 for the front end framework, ArcGIS Server, PostgreSQL, and Apache Solr. We provide access to the vector and raster datasets made available through this portal in a range of downloadable formats and via web services to facilitate the use of the data in both GIS software and interactive web maps. All University of Texas datasets that are available for download through this portal are georeferenced and use the WGS 84 (EPSG: 4326) coordinate reference system by default to facilitate use in GIS software. This portal has been configured to allow users to browse not only geospatial resources in the UT Libraries’ collections, but also raster and vector datasets shared by other universities that are utilizing GeoBlacklight and have shared the metadata for their resources through the OpenGeoMetadata collaboration. Since it is possible to find data from a variety of institutions through this portal you may notice some variations in the services and metadata that are available for particular datasets. This portal is built to conform to the standards set forth in the University’s Web Accessibility Policy.

The People’s Map of Global China tracks China’s complex and rapidly changing international activities by engaging an equally global civil society. Using an interactive, open access, and online ‘map’ format, we collaborate with nongovernmental organisations, journalists, trade unions, academics, and the public at large to provide updated and updatable information on various dimensions of Global China in their localities. The Map consists of profiles of countries and projects, sortable by project parameters, Chinese companies and banks involved, and their social, political, and environmental impacts. This bottom-up, collaborative initiative seeks to provide a platform for the articulation of local voices often marginalised by political and business elites. It is our hope that the information collected by this networked global civil society will be a useful resource for policymaking, research, and international advocacy.

The Big Data Studies Lab at Seoul National University pursues experimental research that rethinks the role of the humanities in the Zettabyte era. How do we handle sources distributed across millions of servers? Or digital artifacts that increasingly take the form of audiovisual content, 3D point clouds, and holograms? Our search for the new normal in the humanities is supported by the Innovative and Pioneering Research Scheme from Seoul National University, with $600,000 USD of seed funding committed to it for nine years (2019-2028). Our lab strives for a global and balanced understanding of big data from a humanities perspective. Our international team conducts research using English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Danish, and Norwegian sources. Our lab expects the highest standard of research with a strong emphasis on technological literacy and methodological rigor. Our objective is not to engage in hasty theorization but to demonstrate our arguments empirically via experiments and field research. We meticulously check every fact, report, whitepaper, and data set cited in our published papers and blog posts, and we provide corrections upon discovering any errors or misleading information.
