Description
The online archive system of the Institute of Modern History (AIMH) at Academia Sinica provides catalog search and digital image viewing for over 682,000 archival records in five major categories: Foreign Ministry Collection (1861–2009), Economic Ministry Collection (1903–1980), Personal Papers, Institutional Materials, and Historical Maps. The Foreign Ministry Collection documents China's foreign relations from the Zongli Yamen (1861–1900) through the ROC Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1928–2009); the Economic Ministry Collection, the largest single set, spans commerce and economic agencies from 1903 to 1980. Approximately half of the total holdings have been digitized; 60 percent of digitized items are viewable online, while the remainder require on-site reading room access.
