Dear VSG users,
The French Project VALEASE (Valorisation de l'Ecrit en Asie du Sud-Est) is supposed to put online a large collection of references dating from the Indochinese period. More than 5000 are expected to be available online this year.
Check VALEASE website for more infos: http://www.valease.org/index.php?lng=fr
About online resources, please click here: http://www.valease.org/news.php?lng=fr
A large number of references are already available in HCMC at two locations:
- IDECAF library (French Cultural Centre).
- HCMC National library.
« Bientôt 5.000 livres sur les pays de l'ancienne Indochine vont être accessibles en ligne. En effet, sur la demande de VALEASE et en accord avec ses partenaires (les Bibliothèques nationales du Cambodge, du Laos et du Vietnam notamment, mais aussi avec la Bibliothèque des Sciences générales et l'Institut d'Echanges culturels avec la France d'Hô Chi Minh-Ville ainsi que l'Institut d'information en sciences sociales d'Hanoï)}, la société Dirox d'Hô Chi Minh-Ville a mis au point un site Internet qui livrera les livres numérisés dans le cadre du projet : www.valease.dirox.net. Une recherche simple permettra de plonger au cœur même des ouvrages et de trouver le thème désiré.
Bibliotheca Indosinica est formée des Khmerica, Laotiana et Vietnamica, qui sont chacune des programmes de numérisation menés localement par le projet. Avec la mise en service de ce site, c'est á la naissance d'une véritable "Bibliothèque électronique francophone de l'Asie du Sud-Est" que les amateurs du riche passé du Cambodge, du Laos et du Vietnam pourront participer. »
Regards.
Nicolas Lainez

Dear Nicolas,
Thank you for updating us on the Valease Resources. There have been other postings to this list about the project, and we realize its potential value. I believe that these resources are currently only available within participating libraries in Viet Nam. It will certainly be a great gift to scholarship when they are made more widely available.
Best
Judith

Another French journal online, actually more like a newsletter, is Eglise d'Asie, published by the Foreign Missions of Paris:
http://eglasie.mepasie.org/
I believe Fr. Jean Mais is still the main author on Vietnam articles. I found this journal very helpful several years ago when I researched Catholics in Vietnam. The current issue is available only to paid subscribers but the text of articles from older issues (I believe two months or more older) are available free and it has a searchable database.
I don't know offhand how far back the online version goes.
