In spite of frantic efforts to infuse it with new energy, the once famous bibliography could not be reactivated. More than twenty impressive volumes and more than fifty years of work - it was a splendid achievement which seemed hard to equal. Even if we could re- vive it, how could we cope with the new technological demands of our time? In January 1996, the International Institute for Asian Studies (HAS), Leiden put forward a proposal to resume the bibliography. This new interest had been kindled by a remark by Professor Frits Staal who argued strongly in favour of continuing the ABIA. The IIAS was prepared to support this idea, and offered us an opportunity to work out a five-year project for a new bibliography on the arts and archaeology of South and Southeast Asia. The Faculty of Arts, Leiden University, and the Jan Gonda Foundation supplied additional grants and working facilities, which gave the project the much needed extra stimulus to take the first steps. The new bibliography is called ABIA South and Southeast Asian Art and Archaeology Index, briefly ABIA Index. It will be an electronic online data- base from which a printed edition will be extracted annually. It supplies annotated and indexed entries on publications in Asian and European lan- guages relating to prehistory, (proto)historical archaeology, art history (including modem art), material culture, epigraphy, palaeography, numis- matics and sigillography. This new ‘format’ aims at providing a tool to spread information fast and accurately, and to publish the latest develop- ments in the field of South and Southeast Asian art and archaeology. In addition to the bibliographic information, the printed edition will contain review articles in which recent contributions clustered around a particular theme will be discussed. It will also offer review articles summar- izing important publications or research results which have been written in a language other than English. The five-year project had to be an international enterprise from the very start. In other words, the bibliography in its new form was to be regarded as a means to build up an international exchange of research in this field. The ABIA Index is meant to function like a yantra, an instrument by which to achieve a higher objective. This challenge was one well worth accepting, A B IA In d e x V o l u m e 1 and we did. Apart from the main coordinating centre, which for the present period of five years is at the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) in Leiden, two other centres were planned, one in South Asia and another in Southeast Asia. For South Asia, an old friend and partner of the former ABIA, Sri Lanka, was ready to open a new ABIA line in the premises of the Post- graduate Institute of Archaeology (PGIAR), University of Kelaniya, and to accept the task of coordinating the South Asian publications. Professor S. Bandaranayake, the director of the Central Cultural Fund, and its former director Dr Roland Silva, backed our initiative in the same wholehearted way as their predecessors had done in the 1920s, ‘with no reservations whatsoever’. For Southeast Asia, we found a new friend in the well-known SEAMEO Regional Centre for Archaeology and Fine Arts (SPAFA), Bang- kok. SPAFA established the regional ABIA office which will cover South- east Asia except Indonesia. Professor Khunying Maenmas Chavalit, head of SPAFA Library and Documentation, reacted kindly and enthusiastically, and the former SPAFA director, the late Dr Ruang Chareonchai, welcomed the ABIA project with the words: ‘This endeavour would certainly be ap- preciated and its results will be eagerly awaited by the region’s academic, library and archival institutions’. Professor S. Settar (Dharwad, Chairman of the Indian Council of Historical Research) became our indispensable con- tact for India, and Drs Hasan Djafar at the Universitas Indonesia was ready to work on the Indonesian publications.
