Beyond having acknowledged the seven members of the Advisory Board of Scholars listed above, additional thank-you's are in order. First of all, a Freeman Undergraduate Grant launched the Chinese Cultures Abroad Directory in 2003. This was facilitated by the Asian Studies Program at the University of Hawai‘i - Mānoa.

Among other generous assistance, constructive criticism by Professor Loretta Oi-Quan Pang, Karl Naito and other colleagues with whom I had earlier collaborated in the Asia Pacific Digital Library at Kapi‘olani Community College (University of Hawai‘i System) improved early versions of my draft proposal for this WWW Virtual Library. In the weeks and months following 21 May 2003, colleagues on three Asian studies Internet discussion groups responded to my requests for information about relevant websites. These virtual colleges — lively networks of mutual scholarly challenge and mutual assistance — are as follows: H-Asia@h-net.msu.edu ("Asian History and Culture"), SEASIA-L@list.msu.edu ("South East Asian Studies"), and ssj-forum@iss.u-tokyo.ac.jp ("Social Science Japan").

Appreciation is expressed to the International Institute of Asian Studies for publishing the outreach notice "Chinese Cultures Abroad Directory" in its IIAS Newsletter [Leiden, The Netherlands], No. 41 (Summer 2006), p. 41.

In 2004, fifteen students in my ASAN 320C course ("Asian Nations Studies: China") at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa each evaluated three Overseas Chinese websites that had been documented in this Directory. These students are as follows:

"Kimo" James K. Baker, David C. Cheng, Young Jun Choi, Matthew A. Curitti, David J. Hamm, Dennis Johannesen, Kittima A. Leelaamornvichet, Tammie Wei Ying Liang, Steven Lee, John P. McCadams, Kristen Tatsuko Nii, Laura L. Reidy, Gia D. Salmon, Pamela G. Tse, and Guo Bin Yang.

In 2005, a second Freeman Foundation grant facilitated development of a detailed writing assignment for college students. That year, the following students in ASAN 320C participated in small-group evalations of one Overseas Chinese website while writing a longer paper comparing two or more Chinese diaspora websites:

Yuki Amagai, Megan K. Kanemaru, Melissa Ann T. Lapastora, David Chong Hyun Lee, Eron D. Leu, David N. Nguyen, Naomi A. Pasi, Sandy D. Penn, Bjorn John Y. Ramos, Sara E. Rigas, Micah R. Wallin, and Kristin M. Yogi

And in 2007, Jie Dong in the ASAN 320C course contributed evaluations of Chinese diaspora websites in Europe and the United States.

Excerpts of students' comments are included in evaluations of websites in the Transregional, South East Asia, Japan, South Pacific, Hawai‘i, Canada, continental United States, Europe and Africa sections of the Chinese Cultures Abroad WWW Virtual Library.
