Dear Colleagues,

Harvard-Yenching Library is pleased to announce the publication of two
works in its publication series.

Choong Nam Yoon å°¹å¿ ??and Soung Hwaon Kim ?‘成??s/ The Annotated
Catalogue of Korean Rare Books at the Harvard-Yenching Library, Harvard
University /?˜ë°”???•äº¬?–書館韓?‹è²´?æœ¬è§£é¡Œ/ /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, 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 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 *Harvard-Yenching Library for $100 per set, plus shipping and
handling.  *This is a significant savings over the publisher price, and
we hope this will enable more institutions to acquire this important work.

In /Hedda Morrison's Hong Kong: Photographs and impressions 1946-1947 ??
影留踪﹔?€é¦™æ¸¯ä¸€ä¹å››??¼?›ä¸ƒ/, 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 /The Great Fire/, and Dr. Raymond Lum ?—希?? 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.

Detailed publication and ordering information may be found on the
library website

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.
