"Thai Newspaper Collection during World War II" held by CSEAS has been released.

This collection was digitized from three newspapers published in Thailand during World War II and now held by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University. The publishers no longer exist and part of the issues of the newspapers are difficult to find even in Thailand. (This project received permission for digitization from National Library of Thailand.)
