Re: Online Archive of Oral History Collections: "Reconceptualizing the Cold War: On-the-ground Experiences in Asia"

Dear Dr. Cliff and Dr. Stapleton

Thanks Dr. Cliff and Dr. Stapleton for your replies! Yes, we do have materials on China and Taiwan. We'll upload them sometime soon, hopefully by the summer. (It takes a bit time as they're in Chinese and Japanese).

Thanks Dr. Stapleton for your suggestion. That's rightk, sure, I will ask my project members to add few notes as much as possible. That should be helpful the readers.

Thanks again.

Best,
