DESCRIPTION
Wanfang’s New Local Gazetteers database. This database searches full-text versions of new (i.e., post-1949) local gazetteers, which are also browsable by region or topic. Pages are readable and downloadable in pdf form in some 6 million small parts by navigating through the Table of Contents ( mulu ), by clicking on “ chakan yuanwen ” (read original excerpt) or “ xiazai yuanwen ” (download original excerpt). You can also read through the complete gazetteers on line, by clicking on “ zhengben yuedu ”  (reading full volume). More advanced searching (Boolean searching, fuzzy searching) is available, and you can narrow down results by using facets or adding refinements to your search (and clicking “search within results.”) As with all Wanfang databases, once on the Wanfang home page, you can move from database to database via tabs.  The tab for the New Local Gazetteers, is somewhat hidden though; it is listed only on the very upper menu, under the “More…” ( geng duo ) category.
