I have the pleasure to announce to you the 37th issue of <i>East Asian History</i>, which is also the journal's first digital issue at <a href="http://www.eastasianhistory.org">www.eastasianhistory.org</a>.</p><p style="margin-top:0.2em;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0.5em;margin-left:0px;font-family:Georgia,'Times New Roman','DejaVu Serif',serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px">
<i>East Asian History </i>is an international refereed journal publishing scholarly research on all aspects of historical studies in East Asia. This new online format enables authors to include sound and film files and photomedia within their articles, enlarging the journal’s scope into fields of historical documentation, such as cinema or music history, previously limited by print publishing.</p>

The editorial board comprises three scholars from each university: Geremie R. Barmé (ANU), Katarzyna Cwiertka (Leiden), Roald Maliangkay (ANU), Ivo Smits (Leiden), Tessa Morris-Suzuki (ANU) and Barend ter Haar (Leiden).</p>

Barmé (to 2007), and Benjamin Penny (from 2007). The journal’s predecessor, <i>Papers on Far Eastern History</i>, was published by The Australian National University’s Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies from 1970 to 1990. When <i>Papers on Far Eastern History</i> became <i>East Asian History </i>the new journal employed an original and striking format that the new online version of the journal has adapted and developed in the new medium.</p>

Articles published in the journal are submitted to double-blind peer review unless otherwise stated. Final selection of papers is at the discretion of the editors.</p>

Of interest for Korean Studies are Roald Maliangkay's article on South Korean musicians performing for foreign troops and <i>Modern Times</i>, the digital exhibition about the development of Korean mass culture during the colonial period. The digital exhibition was inspired (and overlaps with) the current exhibition in the Dutch Museum for Ethnology in Leiden (<a href="http://www.volkenkunde.nl">www.volkenkunde.nl</a>) with the same title.</p>
