China: Culture and Society

The core of China: Culture and Society is the pamphlets
held in the Charles W. Wason Collection on East Asia
housed in the Carl A. Kroch Library of Cornell University.
Mostly in English and published between c. 1750 and 1929,
and amounting to around 1,200 items in 220 bound volumes,
these rare pamphlets form part of one of the deepest and
most extensive collections of literature on China and the
Chinese in the Western world and constitute a rich
resource for scholars and teachers in numerous
disciplines.The pamphlets have all been digitised in
colour and are full-text searchable. Many are illustrated
and feature lavish cover art.
