> Does anyone know how to contact the international relations department of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences in Hanoi? I'm trying to get permission to do research in the Vien Han Nom and other libraries in the academy. I've been given the name Mr. Hai and the e-mail thong@ir-ncss.ac.vn, but this doesn't seem to work any more. If anyone knows who the current co-ordinator for international relations is, and how to contact him/her I would be very grateful.

Dear Professor Michael Churchman,
For your need, how about emailing Mr. Nguyen Nam at
Harvard Yenching Institute at Harvard University to
explore contact at Vien Han Nom ? because he told me
about his relationship with Vien Han Hom. His email:
nguyen2@fas.harvard.edu
I was at a conference at Australian National
University in 1998 and in University of Melbourne (I
gave talks to at Asialink Center and to Vietnamese
lawyers in training at Asia Law center ). I love easy
going Australia, where I have a brother-in-law's
family.

Hi Michael,
In 2002 I contacted Dr Nguyen Giang Hai at the Institute for Social
Sciences, International section. At that time, I used the e-mail
address:
Ban HTQT <ir-ncss@netnam.vn>
He has a number of helpers, including Binh and Hanh (I think Binh was
trained in Tasmania) and they are, indeed, very helpful. Good luck.
Cheers,
Rob Hurle

Dear Mr.Michel Churchman,
The International relations Department of the
Vietnamese Academy of Social Sciences in Hanoi have a
new leader, Mr.Tuan. I think that if you want to do
research in Vien Han Nom, you should not contact to
Vietnamese Academy of Social Sciences by yourself, you
should contact to Vien Han Nom directly. Vien Han Nom
will do all procedures to get permission for you.
You should contact to Mrs. Chu Tuyet Lan, Library
Director or Mr. Trinh Khac Manh, Institute Director
following these email addresses:
- Manh@netnam.org.vn
- Lanhannom@yahoo.com
Best for you!

Dear Michael,
SSRC's local partner is the Vietnamese Academy of Social Sciences and we
work very closely with the international cooperation department. Dr. Hai
is no longer with the international cooperation department. The person
to contact is Ms. Tran Thi Lan Anh (lananh@netnam.vn), the
Vice-Director, who is fluent in English and French. Feel free to tell
her that I gave you her email. She can probably put you in contact with
the Director of the Institute of Han-Nom studies.
Best,
Van

Hi Michael,
Dr. Hai is no longer in charge of International Relations for VASS, but if you e-mail vass@hn.vnn.vn, attention Van Thi Thanh Binh, you will get a reply. (I forget the name of Nguyen Giang Hai's successor.)
Good luck.

Subject: [Vsg] Get permission to research in Vietnam
Dear Prof. Michael Churchman,
There are some options for your contact but the best way i think is that you need to have an official letter of recommendation (or something like that) from your instituttion. The letter should address your name, the name of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences and the phylosophy of your visit. This letter will be then passed down to the Institute of Sino-Vietnamese Studies or any other institutes that you wish to visit. Allow me to remind you that unless you get an official introduction from the Academy, you will have to overcome many constraints (sometimes time consuming) to have free access to various libraries. Especially when you are researching about Cao Dai. I believe when you have an official approval from the academy, you could be ready for the departure.
I hope you will have good time. And many people on this list are working at the Academy including me. Let us know if we could help you anything else.
Best,
Thao
