| Title: | | THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BURMA (MYANMAR) RESEARCH: THE SECONDARY LITERATURE |
| Date of publication: | | December 2004 |
| Description/subject: | | "“The Living’ Bibliography of Burma Studies: The Secondary Literature” was first
published in 2001, with the last update dated 26 April 2003. The SOAS Bulletin of
Burma Research has been expanded to include a special bibliographic supplement
this year, and every other year hereafter, into which additions and corrections to the
bibliography will be incorporated. In the interim, each issue of the SOAS Bulletin
of Burma Research will include a supplemental list, arranged by topic and subtopic.
Readers are encouraged to contact the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research
with information about their publications, hopefully with a reference to a topic and
sub-topic number for each entry, so that new information can be inserted into the
bibliography correctly. References should be submitted in the form followed by the
bibliography, using any of the entries as an example.
Please note that any particular entry will only be included once, regardless
of wider relevance. Eventually, all entries will be cross-listed to indicate other
areas where a particular piece of research might be of use. This list has been
compiled chiefly from direct surveys of the literature with additional information
supplied by the bibliographies of numerous and various sources listed in the
present bibliography. Additional sources include submissions from members of the
BurmaResearch (including the former Earlyburma) and SEAHTP egroups, as well
as public domain listings of personal publications on the internet. Please also note
that newspaper and newsletter articles, encyclopedia articles, conference papers,
and papers in progress will not be included in this list, as most are short pieces or
extracts from already, or eventually to be, published works."
