Cornell Modern Indonesia Project Online

Cornell University's superb journal Indonesia (No. 87, April 2009) arrived in my snailmailbox today with some rather astonishing news which I pass on to you in this posting. All the 75 book-length titles published by Cornell Modern Indonesia Project over the years are now online, full-text, and free to download. I copy here just some excerpts from the site and urge you to take advantage of this enormous treasurehouse containing many classics in Indonesian studies. Work from the source page -- http://cmip.library.cornell.edu/ since not all the copied html below works in Blogger. Browse both by title and author to see the full array of what's available.

The Cornell Modern Indonesia Project (CMIP) was initiated in the 1950s by faculty members in Cornell's Southeast Asia Program who were committed to making contemporary analyses of Indonesia and translations of its important documents available to scholars and students. The 75 titles in this series are divided into four categories: Interim Reports, Translations, Monographs, and Bibliographies. These works capture the drama of Indonesia's political and social evolution through the twentieth century: its struggle for independence from the Dutch under the leadership of Sukarno, reactions to the Japanese Occupation, the development of its civil government, its civil insurgencies, and the conditions that prevailed throughout the long dictatorship of General Suharto. A few other works in this series, such as Benedict Anderson's Mythology and the Tolerance of the Javanese, reflect on earlier Indonesian history relevant to the modern nation.

Cornell Southeast Asia Data Paper Series.

Source page -- http://seapdatapapers.library.cornell.edu/s/seap/browse_geo/indo.html

All these older documents in the Data Paper Series (Cornell University) are now free, full-text, and downloadable. Be forwarned, many are very long.

As with the SEARC series (Hong Kong) of working papers posted just before this entry, you should work from the site rather than the posting in this blog. The full titles of the SEARC collection could not fit in the standard space for the template I use.

But it is even more vital to work from the website for Cornell's Data Paper Series since clicking each country heading brings up a different of papers. I only show the Indonesia page here. You should go to the website to see the papers availaable for other Southeast Asian countries and for those in the general Southeast Asia heading.
