News and Announcements

ACMR Newsletter volume 15, number 2, November 2009 has been published. Past issues of the ACMR Newsletter and ACMR Reports are available under the Publications section of the website.

Lei Ouyang Bryant, Charlotte D’Evelyn, Pattie Hsu, and Chuen-Fung Wong have updated the Chinese Music Bibliography and Discography, 1997-Present (April 2009). The Bibliography is available under the Resources--Bibliographies section of the website.

Digitization project: over the last year the past issues of the ACMR Newsletter and ACMR Reports were digitized and made available online. Since the ACMR publications are not indexed by commercial indexing services, the tables of contents of the issues have been compiled. Note the PDF files are large and may take awhile to download. Please send comments and corrections to the web editor. -- Theodore Kwok (2008-04-24)

New website design: as of October 15, 2007 the ACMR website has a new look.
