Self-description:
"This site has two purposes: to serve as a place to collect and
exchange information on actual experience doing research in
Chinese archives, and to provide information on Chinese local
archives. The first section will depend largely on contributions
from users. Those who have had experiences in Chinese archives
that would be of use to other potential users are encouraged
share those experiences with others. The second section is a
supplement to Ye Wa and Joseph W. Esherick, Chinese Archives: An
Introductory Guide (Berkeley: Institute of East Asian Studies,
University of California, Berkeley, 1996). It provides
information on local archives (city, county and prefectural)
gleaned from local gazetteers. Both sections of this site are
still under construction, so users are encouraged to return for
future visits to see additional information as it is added."
Site contents: Archive Users' Experiences (General Comments, National Archives,
Provincial and Municipal Archives, Local Archives); Local Chinese
Archives (Anhui, Gansu Guangdong, Guizhou, Hebei, Heilongjiang).
[The site is a part of a larger
information system 'Chinese History

local archives, (c) English-language works on Qing, Republican,
