This coincides with a period of extraordinary transition in Chinese society, from the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and two millennia of Imperial China, through periods of warlord rule, Japanese invasion, the Second World War, communist revolution, and the formation of today’s People’s Republic of China.

Late Qing and Republic Era Literature Platform contains a variety of publications from the late Qing and Republic Era, including monographs, newspapers and magazines, and archival sources.

Currently the database includes modules on “Red Classics (publications by the Chinese Communist Party)”, “Historical Persons of Modern China”, “Major Historical Events”, “Diaries and Letters”, “Foreign Relations”, “Archives of Tai-ping Rebellion”, and “The Eight Major Magazines of Republic Era”.
