Description
The Modern History Databases (近代史數位資料庫, MHDB), maintained by the Institute of Modern History at Academia Sinica, is an integrated platform consolidating digital scholarly resources covering Chinese history from the Qing dynasty through the Republican period. The platform unifies resources from the Institute’s library, archives, Hu Shih Memorial Hall, and database research group, enabling cross-database keyword search across constituent databases covering archives, women’s journals and biography, urban tabloids, maritime customs records, grain prices, historical GIS, and specialized reference tools. Cross-database search is available with free registration; results are typically improved by searching within individual constituent databases.
