Michael Demarco, editor of the Journal of Asian Martial Arts, passed along the news that Robert W. Smith has passed away. Even if, as is likely, you’re familiar with his work, you’ll still likely be surprised what all you can find in his impressive bibliography at EJMAS here.

You can also find some Smith correspondence with E.J. Harrison here and here.

As well as correspondence with Donn Draeger here.

Lastly, here is a photo gallery posted by JAMA on facebook.
