DESCRIPTION
The Bilingual Database and Annotated Bibliography of Cantonese Popular Periodicals of the Early Twentieth Century (二十世紀初省港澳通俗刊物雙語資料庫) documents popular periodicals from the Cantonese cultural region spanning Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macau from approximately 1907 to the 1950s. The project reflects the nexus of authors, cross-border advertisements, overlapping distribution networks, and common cultural icons that existed historically among cities in the region. Building on works of previous researchers and librarians, the project collects popular periodicals from various databases, libraries in Hong Kong, Macau, and the United Kingdom, as well as material from private collections. The database contains 80 entries offering a rich expression of a 'Cantonese cultural region.' The bibliography is organized by both category and location including children's publications, film, current events, literature and arts, women and family, martial arts and sports, dance halls, hometown magazines, comics, and publications by location (Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, Shantou).
