The Visible Traces Web site has been produced by the Asia Society in collaboration with the Queens Borough Public Library, with funds provided through the Queens Library Foundation.

The exhibition on which these materials are based, Visible Traces: Rare Books and Special Collections from the National Library of China, is a collaborative effort of the Queens Borough Public Library and the National Library of China. A major part of the Visible Traces exhibition is funded by grants from The Henry Luce Foundation and The E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation. Additional support for the exhibition was provided by the Himalaya Foundation and the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by the Queens Council on the Arts.

Games
Important contributions to the Chinese Language Puzzle were made by Stella Chen Norman, formerly Senior Lecturer in Chinese at the University of Washington. This puzzle is based on "Samples of Pictographic Symbols," which was adapted with the permission of the Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE) and the University of Chicago Press.

Photos for the Mapping the Regions of China were contributed by Kate Adair, Heather Clydesdale, Elizabeth Lancaster, Grace Norman, Kevin J. Smith, Keren Su/China Span, and David Youtz. Special thanks are owed to Professor Robert McColl for his help with this game as well as to Digital Wisdom for allowing the use of their terrain maps.
