There is a growing interest in overseas Chinese studies, both in China and worldwide. This volume, the result of an international conference on Chinese overseas studies, deals with issues of research and documentation of Chinese migration and migrants. It brings together the efforts of scholars and librarians in examining the research and documentation of Chinese overseas.
...This book is a useful touchstone for existing resources and approaches for understanding Chinese overseas, and a source of fresh ideas for all scholars trying to develop new fields and methods. Adam McKeown Columbia University ""This book breaks a new ground in the cooperation between scholars/researchers and librarians/archivists in the field of Chinese Overseas Studies.... It provides a solid base for scholars/researchers to tackle a major issue in Chinese Overseas Studies."" Ching-hwang Yen The University of Adelaide ""This edited volume by Tan, Storey and Zimmerman presents more than a typical collection of essays on Chinese overseas research.... Both seasoned scholars and novice practitioners new to the field will find this volume to be highly useful."" Wing Chung Ng University of Texas at San Antonio
