Archival Resources of Republican China
Columbia University Press is pleased to announce the publication of Archival Resources of Republican China in North America by Chengzhi Wang and Su Chen.
A unique source of comprehensive information on archival collections of Republican China in North American
An easy-to-use guide for scholars and students
Every entry also includes research findings on creators, historical backgrounds, digitization, and additional information that many original library records do not contain
"This indispensable volume widens our knowledge of what is available in North America, where Republican Period collections have heretofore not received such organized attention. It also makes known alternatives to the archives and libraries in China, many of which limit access to their holdings."—D.E. Perushek, University of Hawaii
North America maintains the largest collection of archival materials relating to the Chinese Republican era (1911–1949) outside of China. Most of the archival materials are also unique, and the collections contain special materials supplementing historical records in China and Taiwan. In many cases, North America’s holdings represent the best and only public access to the tumultuous Republican government and society of the first half of the twentieth century.
An essential guide for researchers and students of Republican China, this volume, presented in both English and Chinese, covers personal papers, correspondences, memoirs, diaries, photographs, moving images, and other materials held at academic and research institutions across the United States and Canada. It includes concise descriptions of the people, organizations, and events connected to each entry and notes when certain collections are closely related and when materials are digitized for online access. The book corrects common errors associated with the library records of many archives and updates or completes information on the objects of these records. More than a straightforward itemization, this book adds significant depth to any research on the history and global import of China’s modern development.
Chengzhi Wang is a Chinese studies librarian at Columbia University.
Su Chen is head of the Richard C. Rudolph East Asian Library at the University of California, Los Angeles, and former head of the East Asian Library at the University of Minnesota.
