Provides access to a digital collection of travel accounts covering pre-modern Southeast Asia. All sources are in English and French, and the great majority are written by Europeans and Americans. The resources were selected from one of the world's foremost collections on Southeast Asia, the John M. Echols Collection at Cornell University.

Included are 322 books and journal articles written between 1550 and the 1920s. Images, maps, drawings, photographs, and prints accompany many of the texts.

The objectives of the project are to meet the needs of the courses taught at Cornell University and make the resources available to students and researchers worldwide.
