This is the interface for the Roots Village Database, a database of villages in Toishan 台山, Sunwui 新會, Hoiping 開平, and Chungshan 中山, as compiled by the American Consulate General in Hong Kong in the 1960s. The database is currently accessible here:
https://villagedb.friendsofroots.org/
The files in this repository include the following:
This includes the database schema, along with character lookup tables (STC -> character, character -> jyutping/pinyin).
These are all the CGI scripts. In practice most people will start with search.cgi when using the database.
Just your normal html files. Includes front matter from the Indexes.
Roots::Util will look for a config.txt file to figure out how to connect
to mysql.
Various perl scripts for database maintenance, error checks, etc.
