Southeast Asia Visions (SAV) - a Collection of Historic Travel Narratives

Cornell University Library, Ithaca, NY, US.

Self-description: "The site provides online access to more than 350
books and journal articles written in English and French. The works
in the collection were selected for the quality of their first-hand
observations and, together, provide a comprehensive representation of
Southeast Asia. Along with their narratives, these accounts include
some 10,000 images, drawings, photographs, prints and maps, many of
them in color. [...] The Visions collection includes the written and
photographed experiences of Europeans and Americans who traveled to
Southeast Asia during the period of imperialism. The peoples of
Southeast Asia experienced waves of colonization beginning in 1511
when the Portuguese took Melaka, a strategic and thriving port city
on the Malay Peninsula. The Spanish established a colony in the
Philippines which they ruled from the 1560s until 1899 when the
United States ousted the Spanish and governed the colony until
Philippine independence in 1946. The Dutch gradually conquered the
areas known today as Indonesia beginning in 1596 and ending after
WWII. The British Empire, centered in South Asia, moved into the
Malay Peninsula and Burma by the early 1800s but did not withdraw
from Burma until 1948 and Malaysia and Singapore until 1957. France
established a foothold in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos, an area
grouped under the rubric of French Indochina and ruled by the French
from the mid-to-late 1800s until after WWII."
