There were two fine researchers in Holland who recently passed away. We originally planned to publish the Daily Registers of Taiwan in four large volumes (see the November 1989 issue), but we've only come out with the first volume so far, and now that we're putting together the second volume we've found there's no one to help us.
最近印尼、泰國也慢慢開始研究自己的歷史，有關荷蘭殖民地的研究論文逐漸出版了，可是目前在台灣除曹永和先生（台大研究荷據台灣史學者）外，還沒有人投入。若是再沒有人做這部分的研究，很可能會失掉這段歷史的，這很可怕呀！
