Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Harvard-Yenching Library is pleased to announce the publication of two
works in its publication series.<br>
<br>
Choong Nam Yoon <span class="unicode">尹忠男</span> and Soung Hwaon Kim <span
class="unicode">金成煥's</span><em> The Annotated Catalogue of Korean
Rare Books at the Harvard-Yenching Library, Harvard University </em>하바드
燕京圖書館韓國貴重本解題<em> </em>details almost 4,000 titles held by the
library's Korean Rare Books Collection. Volumes 1 through 4 organize
the texts by subject and provide detailed annotations on each work.
Volume 5 indexes the texts by title and author. Funded through the
generosity of NRC<font>, the Korea Institute, and the Harvard-Yenching
Institute, the catalogue is the culmination of four years of work by
both library staff and several visiting scholars from Korea. Dr. Soon
Gu Lee, a specialist in Choson dynasty materials, and Dr. Mi-Kyung Han,
whose research focused on bibliography and annotation, each spent a
year working with the collection. Dr. Soung Hwaon Kim, an authority on
the history of the book, gave two years and </font>innumerable hours
of painstaking scholarship to the creation of the catalogue. Finally,
it represents the vision of Choong Nam Yoon, who designed and
shepherded the project prior to his retirement from the library this
past August following its publication. It may be ordered directly
from the <b>Harvard-Yenching Library for $100 per set, plus shipping
and
handling. </b>This is a significant savings over the publisher price,
and
we hope this will enable more institutions to acquire this important
work. <br>
<br>
In <i>Hedda Morrison's Hong Kong: Photographs and impressions
1946-1947 逝影留踪﹔ 香港一九四六－四七</i>, Edward Stokes presents the striking
visual record created by the noted photographer during her brief
sojourn in post-war Hong Kong. He contextualizes the images with
bilingual (English and Chinese) essays on the places and societies
Morrison captured on film. Most of the photographs, which are among
the few extensive collections documenting Hong Kong in this period,
have never before been published. The volume includes introductions by
Shirley Hazzard, the author of <i>The Great Fire</i>, and Dr. Raymond
Lum 林希文, who oversees the photographic holdings of the Harvard-Yenching
Library. The project originated with the Hongkong Conservation
Photography Foundation, which published it with the help of project
sponsors including The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Lord
Wilson Heritage Trust, Jebson & Co Ltd., KPMG and the Shum family.
It may be ordered from the library for $39.95 plus shipping and
handling.<br>
<br>
Detailed publication and ordering information may be found on the
library website<br>

<br>
The library is grateful to the scholars and librarians whose hard work
and dedication creates these volumes, and to the foundations,
institutions, and people that make their publication possible. <br>
