Published by the China WWW Virtual Library and maintained at the Sinological Institute, Leiden University, Netherlands, with support from the Institute of Chinese Studies (Heidelberg University), the Berlin State Library, and the German Research Foundation. Thanks to Reference Librarian Michael Hunter for alerting me to this resource.

The award-winning Mother of All Art and Art History Links Pages, started and maintained by my old friends (Andrew Midkiff and Patrick Young) at the University of Michigan. A very good general source for all art historians.
