There are over four thousand Ming(1368-1644) documents and
more than three hundred thousand volumes of Ch’ing(1644-
1911) archival materials in this collection, including
imperial decrees, edicts, memorials, tribute document,
examination questions, examination papers, rosters of
successful examination candidates, documents from the
offices of the Grand Secretariat, documents from the offices
for book compilation, and old documents from Mukden.
Memorials make up the bulk these documents.

After World War II ended, Allied forces established the
International Military Tribunal for the Far East, known
informally as the Tokyo War Crimes trial, to prosecute the
Japanese officials involved with launching the war. The
trial took place from April 1946 to November 1948 and
resulted in death sentences for seven of the defendants
and prison terms for the remaining war criminals. The
Tokyo War Crimes Trial is a massive digital exhibition of
historical documents related to the trial, posted by the
Virginia Law Library. At the heart of the collection is a
treasure trove of more than 20,500 original documents
donated to the Law School in 1978 by the family of Frank
Stacy Tavenner, a 1927 graduate of the University of
Virginia School of Law, who was the assistant chief
prosecutor of the Tokyo War Crimes trial.

Robert Hegel's book True Crimes in Eighteenth-Century
China: Twenty Case Histories presents a sample of crime
reports from eighteenth-century China in English
translation. All are capital crimes. Since all capital
crimes might carry the death penalty, detailed reports of
all levels of investigation had to be forwarded to the
Emperor for his final decision on sentencing. Capital
crimes required investigation and review at local,
prefectural, provincial, and central levels of the
imperial Qing period (1644-1911) administration. These
reports include information about the victims and what
happened to them, testimony from the accused and various
witnesses, and official correspondence between judicial
officials about the crimes. This project is a supplement
to Professor Hegel's book, an archive of the cases
transcribed in the original Chinese.
