中國年鑒全文數據庫 (China Yearbook Fulltext Database)
China yearbooks and statistical yearbooks are excellent sources of China research. The Library has been acquiring a good number of print yearbooks at state and provincial levels. To facilitate research and save shelf space, 105 print yearbook titles have been migrated to the China Yearbook Fulltext Database. The complete run of each title is available online.
中國反右運動數據庫 (Chinese Anti-Rightist Campaign)
This database is a perfect complement to 中國文化大革命文庫 (Chinese Cultural Revolution Database). Historical events include the Land Reform, the Ideological Reform Campaign, Agricultural Collectivization, the Great Leap Forward, the Great Famine, and the Four Clean-ups Campaign.
