The website says: '''South East Asia Visions''' is a collection of European travel accounts of pre-modern Southeast Asia from Cornell University Library's John M. Echols Collection. The site provides online access to more than 350 books and journal articles written in English and French. The works in the collection were selected for the quality of their first-hand observations and, together, provide a comprehensive representation of Southeast Asia.
 
==University of Hong Kong Libraries: China through Western Eyes==
*[http://xml.lib.hku.hk/gsdl/db/ctwe/search.shtml Website]
A [http://lib.hku.hk/database/ Digital Initiative] from the [http://lib.hku.hk/ University of Hong Kong Libraries].
 
The website says the books, important to scholars of China studies, "are ones in which Western foreigners wrote and described what they saw and encountered in China from about the 16th century until 1911, in which year the revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen successfully overthrew the Manchu Dynasty, and thus began the modern China era". Publication date may be later.
