The Asian Library, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. Canada

Self-description:
"On May 15, 2000, the Asian Library at the University of British Columbia, in collaboration with the Institute of Asian Research [http://www.iar.ubc.ca/ - ed.], hosted this photograph exhibition to celebrate Asian Heritage Month. This collection, composed of 96 photographs, included images from three immigration periods; Chinese refugees from Mainland China to Hong Kong, Chinese Refugees from Vietnam to Hong Kong, and the "boat people" who arrived in British Columbia from China in 1999. A collection of photographs about these migrants began to take shape in the Asian Library in 1999, with two generous donations. This collection has been developed to support research on Chinese migration, as well as to document the recent arrival of these migrants to British Columbia's shores. [...] Updates on the status of the migrants arriving British Columbia on the four boats in 1999-2000 and the 36 new arrivals in containers in April 2001 are included below. We have also appended the fact sheets provided by the Alberni Reef Association which brought the four boats from the B.C. Provincial Government in 2000 and sunk two of them at China Creek on June 10, 2001."

Self-description:
"The Nagasaki University Library's 'Collection of Old Photographs from the Late Edo and Meiji Periods' is comprised of photographs of Japan taken from the middle to the end of the 19th century. Many of these photographs are extremely clear and thus contain a wealth of information about the urban landscapes, scenery and customs of the period in which they were taken. In order to tap into this valuable resource, the Nagasaki University Library has developed and unveiled the High-definition Image Database of Old Photographs of Japan, which employs high-definition imaging to maintain a high level of detail even at magnifications of five to ten times on the computer screen. The database contains 201 photographs of Nagasaki and 300 photographs of other parts of Japan, and it features captions and explanations in both Japanese and English as well as a number of browsing tools such as 'search from map','keywords search' and 'full text search'."

Bucklin China Archive - Looking at China in 1924

http://www.bucklinchinaarchive.com/index2.php


12 Nov 2008

www.bucklinchinaarchive.com, Auburndale, MA, US

Self-description:
"In 1923, Harold Bucklin took his family on a remarkable journey from Providence, Rhode Island to Shanghai, China, where he produced an exquisite body of work of large format photographs of Pre-Revolutionary China using a Graflex camera. [...]

This is a Bucklin Family project. [...] Harold Bucklin is the man who took these photographs in 1923 and 1924. He took this year-long journey with his wife and 2-year-old son, to serve as Visiting Professor of Sociology at Shanghai College as part of a program at Brown University, where he was Assistant Professor of Sociology. Hazel Bucklin was Harold's wife. She possessed an extraordinary gift as a writer, as evidenced in her diary. [...] The son of Harold and Hazel, Don [Donald - ed.] was 2 years old when he accompanied his parents on this trip. He has been the driving force behind salvaging and preserving these images for the world to see. [...] Hope Bucklin is Donald's wife of 55 years and has been a full collaborator in this preservation project and has also done some of the more tedious tasks such as transcribing Hazel's diary, numbering close to 1000 photographs and cross-referencing the negatives."

Site contents:
* Take The Tour; * Harold's Photography; * Photo Essays (Yokohama Earthquake, Through the Porthole, Transportation, Funeral Processions, The Landmakers, The Garden Bridge, Street Scenes, Carrying Sticks, China Faces, Using the Graflex, Harold's Hat); * Exhibitions; * About Us; * Contact Us; * Order Prints.

Gerald Warner Taiwan Image Collection

http://warner.lafayette.edu/


12 Nov 2008

Special Collections & College Archives, Lafayette College Libraries, Lafayette College, Easton, PA, US

Self-description:
"[A] photographic record of a US consul's impressions of urban and rural life in Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule. Totaling 340 photographs and postcards gathered by Warner between August 26, 1937 and March 8, 1941, these images provide a snapshot of Taiwan's hybrid culture of Chinese, Taiwanese, Austronesian, and Japanese influences. The subjects represented are wide-ranging, including clothing, arboriculture, urban structures, agriculture, religious rituals, topography, highways, parks, and more. These digitized images have been researched and annotated to serve as a web-based encyclopedia of colonial Taiwan's material culture. [...]

The digititized collection can be searched, browsed by image or by subject [using 114 thematic categories - ed.], and sorted in various ways. The interface allows users to select images and create temporary personal collections that can be saved locally. Users can also zoom, pan, crop, compare images, and create slideshows as detailed in the help pages. This site uses Chinese and Japanese fonts, so please make sure that your browser and operating system can display East Asian characters.

[...] Gerald Warner was born in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania on August 12, 1907. He commenced his East Asia foreign service as US vice consul at Tianjin (1931) and at Mukden (1934). Warner worked as language officer in Tokyo from 1935 and as consul at Taipei in 1937. After three and a half years in Taiwan, he was appointed consul at Tokyo in February 1941."

Thomas H. Hahn Docu-Images - Images from the Cultural Revolution

http://hahn.zenfolio.com/


12 Nov 2008

Thomas H. Hahn Docu-Images, Ithaca, NY, US

Supplied note:
"For those colleagues with an interest in the campaigns and mechanics of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, I would like to advertise the creation of a new on-line collection of Xinhua News Agency photographs from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s.

Much has been written about this traumatic segment of China's recent past, but - with the exception of the legacies of Li Zhensheng and Weng Naiqiang - the subject (for very complex and difficult reasons) is not well covered visually, at least not in any comprehensive fashion. For example, in 'An Anthology of Chinese Photography 1957-2000' (Beijing 2002), the ten years between 1964 and 1974 are not represented at all, and the years 1974 to 1979 display mostly Mao and Model Operas (yangbanxi).

With the exception of Chang Song's striking images, the galleries offered here reflect parts of my own holdings on the subject. There are at present nine galleries, with the following content: 1. The anti-Kong anti-Lin campaign in Qufu (27 photographs, April 1974) 2. Sports and physical education (15 photographs, November 1971) 3. The nation-wide educational campaign in the mechanical and life sciences (21 photographs, April 1974) 4. China's navy and archaeology on the Xisha (Spratley) Islands (20 photographs, approx. early 1974) 5. China's heavy industry in the early 1970s (18 photographs, no annotations available) 6. Drills and practices of the Peoples Liberation Army PLA in the early 1970s (14 photographs, no annotations available) 7. Ping Pong Politics. i.e., Chinese Foreign Relations marked by invitations to international Ping Pong tournaments (30 photographs) 8. Land reclamation and development measures (20 photographs, 1969 - 1972) 9. A small selection of Chang Song's work covering the campaigns of the late 1960s.

These photographs deserve further study and renewed attention I believe. While their didactic-propagandistic character is undeniable, the images create a base layer of an era which has come and gone but whose influence will be felt for many generations to come.

The collection can be accessed at http://hahn.zenfolio.com/f320124069

I am at present actively searching for photographs of China from the 1950s. Thank you. Thomas H. Hahn, Ph.D. Cornell University College of Architecture, Art and Planning."
