I wasn't sure if I should post The Internet Chinese Text Archive, a huge collection of texts in Chinese (which I found at Plep), since anyone who can make use of it probably already knows about it, but when googling it I ran across A Brief History of Asian Studies Online (through 2003) by T. Matthew Ciolek, so I figured I'd post both and see if anyone's interested. The "Brief History" has this under 1991:
sometime in 1991: Ulysses Li establishes "The Internet Chinese Text Archive" [now at www.ibiblio.org/ chinese-text] the first Chinese text archive on the Internet. It was formerly known to web surfers as "Xiaoyu's Collection" or "Carp Temple." This collection had once been served by the server of Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) Chinese Community Information Center (CCIC).Posted by languagehat at July 21, 2005 01:21 PM
Thanks, I did not know about this.
