Features: Archives are not only authentic 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 contains archival materials from various government institutions across different historical periods in Shanghai, as well as records from industrial and commercial groups, factories, financial institutions, social organizations, and cultural institutions. It also includes 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 Studies series is published irregularly, with one to two issues per year, each containing approximately 300,000 words. The columns include Thematic Studies, Oral History, Archival Guides, and Archival Displays, among others. Additionally, new columns such as latest developments in modern Chinese and Shanghai history research, translated academic works from abroad, thematic goals of the archives, and newly added or opened archival collections will be introduced to further enhance the series' uniqueness.
