SEAArch - The Southeast Asian Archaeology Newsblog

Spurred by the recent discussion about the politicization of Malaysian history (see here and the comments section here), I just added three websites to the links list, both concerning the history of Malaysia.

Sejarah Melayu (or the Malay History) is an informative site by Sabri Zain, a writer, who has quite neatly presented ancient Malaysia in topical formats, including the Early Malay Kingdoms, Buddhist empires and the Melaka Sultanate, supplemented with archaeological evidence.

For a more chronological overview of Malaysian history, the Malaysian Timeline is just that - a timeline of Malaysia from prehistory to modern times. It’s only split into five sections, but they provide a good overview of Malaysia’s past.

Finally, the Malay Concordance Project at the Australian National University is an online resource for scholars studying classical Malay texts.
