About HuayiNet

The HuayiNet World Wide Web site is conceived as an online resource on ethnic Chinese materials available in the collections of the 9 out of the 13 institutions represented in the Inter-Agency Committee on Chinese Overseas Databank&Research, Singapore.

The word Huayi means People of Chinese (hua) descent (yi).

HuayiNet also covers collections of other institutions and individuals in Singapore and elsewhere in the world. This site provides a calendar of events, recent publications, a forum for discussion, and linkages to other relevant sites on the subject. The facilities will be developed in stages, including document delivery and information packaging services.
