| Title: | Herbert Offen research collection |
|---|---|
| Description: | The dedicated online resource to the Herbert Offen Research Collection at the Peabody Essex Museum, Massachsetts, is essentially a short description of the collection, and a freely available bibliography. The Herbert Offen Collection is a holding of over 3000 texts on Chinese homes, gardens and furniture, which has been expanded to include works on similar topics that cover Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia. From the title page, users can download a complete list of the books and manuscripts in the collection, which opens as a pdf file. Although the resource is little more than an introduced bibliography, the bibliography itself is so vast that it comprises an essential introduction to rare publications on Asia's interior and external architecture and gardens. Entries include additional holdings, such as photographs and manuscript material. It would be valuable to any researcher of East and Southeast Asian architecture, environment and artifacts. |
