Connected in the Vault

  • His profile line records his connection to the History of Taiwanese American (T.A. Archives) 台美史料中心; the vault holds the founding account [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/introduction-of-the-ta-archives|TAH #27: Brief History of the Taiwanese American Archives 台美史料中心的介紹]].
  • No separate Echopedia pages exist yet for his ensembles (Amphion String Quartet, New Asia Chamber Music Society 新亞室內樂協會, International Sejong Soloists, Quartet 131), his schools (Juilliard, Stony Brook) or the Taiwanese Junior Chamber of Commerce of New York; the cited TAH #218 / #504 encyclopedia URLs remain the anchors.

Vault Cross-check (deepen pass 2026-09-10, vault-only)

  • A third TAH encyclopedia record is held in the vault: #248 “Andy Lin 林維洋, Viola”, published 2015-07-18 (same day as the #504 profile; both Band-B bibliographic records) — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/248-andy-lin-e6-9e-97-e7-b6-ad-e6-b4-8b-viola-201507|TAH #248 (viola profile, 2015/07)]].
  • His #218 profile is archived in the vault story corpus as [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/53017|TAH #218 (vault copy, published 2019-01-10)]].
  • Two in-vault news articles record his New York performances beyond the TAH profile:
  • One further in-vault performance record: on the Hsu-Nami album track “Reincarnation” he played viola alongside violinist Jessica Chen (Hsu) — Hsu-Nami new-album interview. Note: Jessica Chen’s page lists her husband as “Andy Lin”; identity with 林維洋博士 is not stated in the vault, so no merge was made. (His NACMS colleague page Nan-Cheng Chen renders his 漢名 as 林威良 — a spelling discrepancy vs 林維洋, held, not merged.)
