Bangkok Post Weekly Review

The Bangkok Post is the oldest, national English-language daily published in Thailand since 1946. It was founded by Alexander MacDonald who was an American ex-navy lieutenant. It covers local and global news on all topics. It is still a very popular English newspaper read by educated Thais and foreigners in Thailand. The Bangkok Post Weekly Review summarizes weekly political, business and social news reported by The Bangkok Post.

Bob Jones Indochina Collection of rare newspapers and serials

Funds are requested to digitize a number of rare serial titles from the Bob Jones Indochina Collection.  These materials, collected by Jones while stationed in Saigon during the War, are mostly brittle or in poor condition.  Two of the titles are already held by Cornell, and we intend to amalgamate our holdings, digitizing the better volumes from both collections.
