The NYU Division of Libraries has endorsed the pledge of the Asian/Pacific American Library Association, which has released a statement condemning racism and xenophobia in the midst of the current Covid-19 pandemic. See this list of resources.
Due to Covid-19, we have temporary access to several East Asian e-resources. Please check each collection for specific details (Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, or Korean Studies). Try them out and let the East Asian Studies Librarian know what you think of them.

NYU subscribes to the complete Cambridge Histories Online, which includes both the Cambridge History of China and the Cambridge History of Japan.
For primary sources, you may also want to search historical newspapers. We have many from the U.S., but also international.
A very comprehensive bibliography of works about Korea in English is available online. Formulated as a browsable list sorted by topic, the list is modestly entitled Korean History: A Bibliography. It encompasses resources covering disciplines outside history as well. It was compiled by Kenneth R. Robinson of International Christian University and is maintained by the University of Hawaii's Center for Korean Studies.
