The book includes archival materials from various government institutions of different historical periods in Shanghai, as well as records from industrial and commercial groups, factories, financial institutions, social organizations, and cultural institutions. It also contains archives from important conferences, major events, and renowned individuals, covering a period of over 150 years from the mid-19th century to the mid-1990s.
