The success of this archive will depend on the extent of its usage. Therefore, we urge everyone — students, professional colleagues, enthusiasts and friends — to explore this website, visit our physical library in Hong Kong, and augment this resource with ideas, suggestions, new information and material. We are delighted to assist you in any way we can, and thank you very much in advance for your interest and guidance.
An archive is not static, and neither is this project. Opportunities to collect new material and to pursue new avenues of inquiry will continue to develop. But as we conclude this critical initial phase, we would like to acknowledge the generous support of a long list of valuable contributors without whom this project could not have come this far.
