The number of journals gradually expanded over the next few decades, with the acquisition of "Oceanic Linguistics" (in vol. V) in 1966 and "Asian Perspectives" (in vol. XII) in 1969, and the founding of "Korean Studies" in 1977, "Biography" in 1978, "Buddhist-Christian Studies" in 1981, and "Asian Theatre Journal" in 1984, all initiated at the University of Hawaii. Flush State budgets in the late 1980s and early 1990s permitted several further initiatives by other campus departments. The literary journal "Mānoa" and the "island affairs" journal "The Contemporary Pacific" made their debut in 1989, followed by the "Journal of World History" in 1990, and then "China Review International" in 1994, just before severe budget cutbacks eliminated all university subsidies to the Journals Department.
