Summary
INTRODUCTION: GENERAL AND SUPPLEMENTAL
In the growing flood of publication on modern Chinese history, especially from the PRC, research aids and documentary materials seem to be increasing even faster than historical studies that make use of them. The following items are in addition to items cited in volumes 10, n and 12 of this series, which describe in some detail archives and publications, particularly in Taiwan.
Research aids
The Institute of Historical Research, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (Peking), comp. 1900-1975 ch'i-shih-liu nien shih-hsueh shu-mu (Bibliography of books on history published during the 76 years 1900-1975), lists by subject more than 9,000 titles by Chinese authors and includes an author index. Fudan University (Shanghai), Department of History, comp. Chung-kuo chin-tai shib lun-chu mu-lu, 1949—1979 (Catalogue of publications during 1949-1979 on modern Chinese history), arranges more than 10,000 articles and 1,200 books under some eighty topics. Chinese Historical Association, comp. Chung-kuo li-shih-hsueh nien-chien (Yearbook of Chinese historiography), summarizes each year's publications and other activities; the volume titled 1979 appeared in 1981; the volume labelled 1981 deals with 1980 and was published in 1982; while the volume titled 1982 covers 1981. We have last seen 19S4, published in October of that year. The Association also publishes the quarterly Shih-hsueh ch'ing-pao (History newsletter), which began to appear in this public form in 1982. The bibliographies, summaries of current research, and substantive discussions in these two publications are most useful; so also are the bibliographies on 'modern history' which appear regularly in the quarterly journal of the Institute of Modern History, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, 'Jin dai shi yan jiu' (Studies in modern history).
