The webpage features Selden Map of China at the Bodleian
Libray of Oxford. Dating from the late Ming period, it
shows China, Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia,
Southeast Asia and part of India. The map shows shipping
routes with compass bearings from the port of Quanzhou
across the entire region. This is the earliest Chinese map
not only to show shipping routes, but also to depict China
as part of a greater East and Southeast Asia, and not the
centre of the known world.

Claude L Pickens, Jr. (1900-1985) and his wife, Elizabeth
Zwemer Pickens, were Christian missionaries of the China
Inland Mission (C.I.M.) and had a particular interest in the
category of China's Muslims who are now officially
designated as \Hui\ in China. This digital collection has
over 1,000 photos taken by Pickens, of Muslims and Christian
missionaries working among them in Western China in the
1920s and 1930s. In addition to those, supplemented
resources include several hundred books, pamphlets,
broadsides, etc., in several languages.

Edward Bangs Drew joined the Chinese Maritime Customs
Service in 1864 after earning his BA degree from Harvard.
In 1868, Drew was appointed a Commissioner of the Service, a
position he held for decades. During that time he collected
photographs that document clothing, customs, and daily life
in 19th century China, as well as Drew's life and career,
including family and social gatherings, public appearances,
and events and ceremonies.

The Harvard-Yenching Library holds some 5,000 photographs
and 10,000 negatives taken by Hedda Hammer Morrison (1908-
1991) while resident in Beijing from 1933 to 1946. All of
the photographs contained in the 28 albums assembled by
Hedda Morrison have been cataloged and digitized and can be
viewed in VIA (Visual Information Access), the union catalog
of visual resources at Harvard. This site provides
information about the collection and strategies for
effectively searching for Hedda Morrison photographs in VIA.

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).

In the earliy years of the 20th century, intrepid Western
plant explorers were sent to 'exotic' lands to gather
economically useful plants and seeds. Botanical and
Cultural Images of Eastern Asia, 1907-1927, is the
digitized collection of Eastern Asian photographs taken by
some of the plant explorers commissioned by the Arnold
Arboretum of the Harvard University. The database features
images of plants, people, and landscapes as were seen and
recorded by the explorers: John George Jack (1861–1949),

The website is the virtual home for the digitized collection
of historical Chinese medical texts of the Princeton East
Asian Library. Sixty-five full-text e-books are freely
available in the PDF format.

China Historical Images is a commercial database that
claims
to be the biggest electronic depository of Chinese
historical images. The scope of the digital image
collection focuses on late Ming, Qing, and the Republican
era. The database allows searching and browsing by time,
geographical areas, themes, and authors.
