Version 0.3.4 of the JHDP's Encyclopedia of Japanese History is now up. Plenty of new and updated material.

10 September 2005

The pics section is back up. I have a bunch of pics that I still need to add to it. Hopefully sometime this month. For the moment, it should be easier to use than it was before. Also gave it a new theme.

Redid the layout of the main page a bit, as you probably already noticed.

Coming soon - an update to the Japanese history encyclopedia.

28 August 2005
