Photography

Sidney D. Gamble (1890-1968), an amateur photographer, was a
sociologist and renowned China scholar. He visited China
several times in the early 20th century to collect data for
social-economic surveys and photographed Chinese urban and
rural life, public events, architecture, religious statuary,
etc. After his death, Gamble's photos were donated to Duke
University by his daughter. This digital collection has
more than 5,000 photos, primarily of China, taken between
1908 and 1932.

This is a digital archiving project undertaken by the
National Tsing-Hua University of Taiwan that aims at
digitizing and making publicly accessible a batch of
historical records including correspondences, postcards,
calligraphy and painting works, and other archival
materials
dating back to the period when Taiwan was under the
colonial
rule of Japan. Images of the archival documents are
available online in PDF files, and the portal makes it
possible for users to browse and search for the index and
information.
