Chinese Papercuts

The Center for Chinese Studies at the University of
Michigan
possesses a stunning collection of rare propaganda
papercuts
from the Cultural Revolution--a period of massive
political
upheaval in China that began in 1966 and lasted about a
decade. The papercuts were scanned and made available as
high-resolution digital images in this collection by the
University Library Digital Library Production Service
(DLPS).

Chinese Pamphlets: Political communication and
mass education in the early period of the People's
Republic of China

The database has mass education materials
published in Hong Kong and in Mainland China,
particularly Shanghai, in the years 1947-1954.
These cartoon books, pamphlets, postcards and
magazines, on topics such as foreign threats to
Chinese security, Chinese relations with the
Soviet Union, industrial and agricultural
production, and marriage reform, were produced by
both Kuomintang (Nationalist) and Gongchantang
(Communist) supporters.

Chinese Rubbings Collection

The Chinese Rubbings Collection results from a project to
catalog and digitize the entire collection of East Asian
rubbings (the majority of which are from China) at the Fine
Arts Library of Harvard University. The rubbings were made
from ancient stone stelae, tomb tablets, Buddhist and Daoist
scriptures on stelae and rocks, as well as inscriptions and
designs copied from bronze vessels, jade objects, ceramics,
tomb bricks, and roof tiles, objects dating from the Qin
Dynasty (221-207 BCE) to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 CE).

Historical Chinese Postcard Project: 1896 - 1920

This database project studies the first wave of postcards
with a Chinese subject. Users not only find images of the
postcards, but also their historical context information
about what they are, who produced them and where, how they
were used, and what's their significance. The growing
collection focuses on early (1896-1920) postcards of China
with the bulk back to the time of the late imprial (before
1911). It has stopped updating in 2004 and the 462 images
the site hosts are available to view and download.

Collection of Republican-Era Buddhist Periodical Literature)

MFQB were compiled under the leadership of Huang Xianian 黃夏
年 and published in 2006 and 2007 respecively.
