Asia-Pacific Research Collection and Database One of the continuing strengths of the Asia-Pacific Triennial project is the commitment to ongoing research in the field of contemporary art, and to making this material (the Asia-Pacific Research Collection) available to arts and academic communities. The Asia– Pacific Research Collection exceeds 4 500 items, including indexed articles, catalogues, invitations, and CD-ROM, video and photographic documentation. Additionally, the Asia-Pacific Artists Database holds records on approximately 2 OOO artists.
