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.
