DESCRIPTION

The Quan guo bao kan suo yin 全国报刊索引 (National Index to Chinese Newspapers & Periodicals) compiled by Shanghai Library is a collection of databases giving access to a diverse array of sources. The platform has a strong focus on the period from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic. It also indexes articles published in Chinese periodicals from 1833 to current. Some of the resources are categorized index-only (in Chinese, pian ming shu ju ku 篇名数据库), some have the full-images of the indexed articles; the content itself is not text searchable (confusingly, and wrongly, this database is called quan wen shu ju ku , 全文数据库 in Chinese) and other parts of the resources on the platform are actually full-text searchable (全文搜索版). Most of the journal and newspaper publications from the late Qing and Republican periods are full-images of the indexed articles; lately the platform also has added Republican e-books which are full-text searchable. Post 1949 the database includes indexes only, and in most cases it would be better to search the China Academic Journals database instead. The three kinds of databases are integrated on one and the same platform . Downloadable articles show a pdf icon. For most flexible search, click on the "search center" icon (进入检索中心.) You can then specify which database(s) to search, etc. The full-image databases include the Late Qing and part of the Republican Periodical databases ( Wan Qing qi kan quan wen shu ju ku 晚清期刊全文数据库,1833-1911, and Minguo shi qi qi kan quan wen shu ju ku 民国时期期刊全文数据库, 1911-1949). The Late Qing databases includes 625 journals. The Republican full-image database currently includes some 22,000 journals. A guide on how to best use the integrated platform is included here; you can ignore the section on “log-on”, which on the Princeton campus is IP-based and automatic.For most of the Late Qing and the Republican journals full-text searching is not possible. The database also includes a large number of Chinese and English language newspapers that are mostly indexed on the article title level. A small selection of newspapers is full-text searchable. One important feature of the database is that it indexes images (mostly news photography) and advertisements . Princeton users have access to several Republican newspaper and a large Republican eBooks package on this website. Some of these sources are full-text searchable. The additional modules are listed individually on this research guide.
