The Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) is a
research institution established to enhance the existing
capabilities of The Australian National University (ANU).
It
aims to be an integrated, world-leading institution for
Chinese Studies and the understanding of China, or what
has
been called 'Greater China' or the 'Chinese Commonwealth'
(the People's Republic of China, the Hong Kong and Macau
Special Administrative Regions, as well as Taiwan and the
Chinese diaspora), on a global scale.
Internet resources for Australia
The Chinese-Australian Historical Images in Australia
(CHIA) database is a catalogue of historical images of
Chinese, Chinese immigrants and their descendants held in
Australia. It primarily draws on the photographic holdings
of the Chinese Museum but also includes photographs from
other online archives, publications and private family
collections. Digital copies of many of these images are
available for research purposes. CHIA also includes the
beginnings of an encyclopaedia of Chinese-Australian
history, complete with bibliography, aimed at providing
contextual information for database images.
The China Story Project is a web-based account of
contemporary China created by the Australian Centre on
China
in the World (CIW) in the College of Asia & the Pacific
(CAP) at The Australian National University (ANU) in
Canberra. The China Story engages with the shifting
narratives and realities of contemporary China, offering a
range of views on different aspects of the People’s
Republic, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan and the Chinese-
speaking world essayed by scholars, writers, journalists
and
commentators.
