Features: Archives are not only genuine records of historical activities but also important references for current activities. The purpose of this book is to provide a platform for the development and research of Shanghai archival materials. The book includes archival materials from various government institutions across different historical periods in Shanghai, as well as records from business groups, factories, financial institutions, social organizations, and cultural institutions. It also contains archives from important conferences, major events, and renowned individuals, covering a span of over 150 years from the mid-19th century to the mid-1990s. These rich archives have become invaluable resources for historical research, serving as reading materials for many domestic and international scholars.
The Shanghai Archival Materials Research series is published irregularly, with one to two issues per year, each containing approximately 300,000 words. The columns include Thematic Research, Oral History, Archival Guides, and Archival Shelves, among others. Additionally, new columns will be introduced over time, such as latest developments in modern Chinese and Shanghai history research, translations of foreign academic works, thematic goals of the archives, and newly added or opened archival collections, to further enhance the series' unique features.
