Description
When complete, this database will include more than 10,000 pre-modern local gazetteers in the broad sense—covering not only jurisdictional gazetteers but also gazetteers of temples, mountains, and other entities. The database supports full-text searching by region, title, or period while preserving the original form of the source, including maps and tables, displayed side by side with the text. Downloading and printing are possible; individual note-taking is not available. As of 2021, three sets of 2,000 titles each of the planned five parts have been completed. Published by Erudition (Airusheng).
