清代經世文編
明末以來形成的「經世文編」體，乃中國知識份子表達經世思想的重要文獻，其中包含了大量政治、外交、經濟、社會等多方面史料。本所近年來已先後完成十部清代的經世文編全文資料庫，計有賀長齡《皇朝經世文編》、葛士濬《皇朝經世文續編》、盛康《皇朝經世文續編》、邵之棠《皇朝經世文統編》與陳忠倚、麥仲華、何良棟、甘韓等人所編的經世叢書等。這幾部書成書時間起自道光，迄於光緒年間，在記載方面亦各具特色，可說是晚清時期最重要的史料之一。

Qing Dynasty Collected Writings on Statecraft
From the late Ming onward the formation of statecraft writing, that is, an important genre written by Chinese intellectuals to express their thoughts on statecraft, included for the most part many historical materials of political, diplomatic, economic, and social significance. As of this year the Institute has completed ten sections of the Qing Dynasty Collected Writings on Statecraft Full-Text Database. This includes He Changling, Collected Writings on Statecraft from our Great Dynasty; Ge Shijun, A Continuation of the Collected Writings on Statecraft from our Great Dynasty; Sheng Kang, A Continuation of the Collected Writings on Statecraft from our Great Dynasty; Shao Zhitang, A Comprehensive Compilation of Writings on Statecraft from our Great Dynasty; and Chen Zhongyi, Mai Zhonghua, He Liangdong, Gan Han, and others who edited statecraft volumes. These books were compiled from the Daoguang (1782-1850) through Guangxu (1871-1908) reigns. With respect to what they recorded, each volume has its own special characteristics. One could say that these are the most important historical sources for the late Qing period.

Daily Records of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History
The Daily Records of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History database was completed in 1997. Its content includes two major works the Institute founder and first director, Mr. Kuo Ting-yee spent decades carefully editing and compiling: Daily Records of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History and Daily Records of the History of the Republic of China. These two reference works are comprised of more than 2,000,000 characters. Daily Records of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History covers 1830 to 1911 and focuses primarily on the Qing Dynasty. Its contents are concentrated mainly on politics, military affairs, and diplomacy. Yet every effort has been made to include other sources related to economics, society, and culture to make the data as complete as possible. Daily Records of the History of the Republic of China covers 1912 to 1949 and provides many texts of greater length with more detailed narration. Daily Records of the History of the Republic of China and the Daily Records of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History together constitute the most reliable record of this 150-year period of modern Chinese history. These two books are so tied to the pursuit of scholarship that they are essential references. In addition, the full-text database is of great benefit to scholars, allowing them to save time in catalog searches and text retrieval.

新民說
梁啟超(1873-1929)所撰寫的《新民說》是中國近代思想史的一篇重要文獻。該文最早是以連載的方式刊於在日本橫濱出版的《新民叢報》之上，此文從1902年初開始，至1903年底梁氏訪美歸來之後繼成，全文約12萬字。 《新民說》在近代中國思想界產生了莫大的影響，它的讀者包括了在中國與日本的學生與知識份子和海外華人，甚至也透過一些像讀報、宣講與演說等管道影響到一部分庶民。該文不但在發行之初為人喜愛，後來屢經翻刻，以其它的型式出版，在1920、1930年代都還有廣大的讀者。

On New People
On New People, written by Liang Qichao (1873-1929), is an important document for the study of modern Chinese intellectual history. The earliest edition of the book was serialized and published in a journal called Xinmin Congbao in Yokohama, Japan. This text was written between the beginning of 1902 and the end of 1903 following Mr. Liang's return from visiting the United States. The entire text is approximately 120,000 characters in length. On New People has had a major impact on modern China's intellectual circles. The readers of this volume include not only Chinese and Japanese students and intellectuals, but also overseas Chinese and even ordinary people who were reached through such methods as newspapers, promotional talks, and lectures. This text was not only loved by its readers when it first appeared, but subsequently, when republished in other formats between 1920 and 1930 it also maintained a broad readership.

Late Qing Catalog of Western Learning
Any discussion of trends in late Qing Chinese intellectual culture must give an account of attitudes toward the spread of “Western Learning” within late Qing intellectual culture. There must also be an ongoing, wide-ranging, attentive and accurate examination of each and every aspect of publications associated with “Western Learning.” The late Qing period “Catalog of Western Learning” can be used as a tool in the examination of all types of books that fall under the category of “Western Learning” to establish a solid, accurate, and broad base in the portrayal of a historically accurate image in relation to the idea of “Western Learning Penetrating to the East.” This database includes, The Expanded Edition of Eastern and Western Learning Catalog, Christian Literature Society for China: Comprehensive Index of Translated New Works, The Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau: Translation and Illustration Print Catalog, The Western Writings Reference Work, Feng Chengjun's Bibliography of Translations, The Bibliography of Japanese Books, and so forth.

The Diary of Wang Shih-chieh (1891-1981)
The Diary of Wang Shih-chieh was kept from 1933 until 1979, and thus, spans forty-seven years. However, because there are a few internal breaks, the diary, in fact, covers only thirty-four years. Mr. Wang Shih-chieh's life work included academic, political, and diplomatic dimensions. He held many important posts: Education Minister; Secretary General of the People's Political Council; Head of the Supreme National Defense Council, Head of the Central Planning Bureau and other organizations. Additionally, in 1962 he became the president of Academia Sinica. Mr. Wang Shih-chieh was an academic who entered politics. He emphasized strongly the need to preserve historical materials. For this reason, he kept a great many documents that are now highly valued primary sources for the study of modern history. His thirty-some-year diary is an even more important reference for scholars studying modern political and diplomatic history.

Yuan Family Repository of Hand-written Letters from Prominent Figures in Modern China
This collection of letters by prominent persons numbers almost 800. The letters stored in the collection from famous officials and literati living during the Qing Dynasty reigns of Guangxu (1875-1908) and Xuangtong (1908-1909) and other prominent individuals up to the sixtieth year of the Republic of China were collected by Mr. Yuan Xiangtan from three generations of his family's exchanges with friends and colleagues. When the collection was passed to two members of the fourth generation, Xiaoru and Xiaojun, they donated the entire collection to the Institute. As for what letters had accumulated under three generations of the Yuan family, the exchanges mostly pertain to Yuan Shuxun, Yuan Siliang, and Yuan Rongfa, these three family members: grandparent, father, and son. The bulk of the collection is comprised of letters preserved by the third-generation Yuan Rongfa, “The Xuanbing Studio Letter Collection” which occupies more than half the collection. The Institute's mission is to promote research and development of modern Chinese history. Therefore prominent attention is given to the preservation and publication of previously overlooked materials of historical and aesthetic value. Consequently, with respect to the letters from prominent figures preserved by the Yuan family, documents were first selected from the first two generations, that is, Yuan Shuxun's, “Haiguan shangshu Epistolary Collection” and Yuan Siliang's “Gangfa yizhai Epistolary Collection,” which were then brought together and published under the title, Selected Correspondence to the Yuan Family from Prominent Figures in Modern China.

朝鮮戰爭：俄國檔案館的解密文件
1990年代初，俄國開始大量發表有關朝鮮戰爭的回憶錄和採訪錄，在俄國、韓國和美國的報刊雜誌上以不同文字大量刊出。俄國檔案幾乎都是未經編輯加工的原件。雖然剛開始披露的一批文獻是政府有關部門挑選的，但以後更大量的檔案則完全是學者們直接從檔案館中發掘出來的。收入本文獻集的檔案，主要來自俄羅斯聯邦總統檔案館(APRF)、俄羅斯聯邦對外政策檔案館(AVPRF)、俄羅斯現代史文獻保管和研究中心(RTsKhIDNI)、當代文獻保管中心(TsKhSD)、俄羅斯聯邦國防部中央檔案館 (TsAMORF)。經過整理，共有554份文件，另有100多個附件。除極個別文件因無法找到俄文原件而譯自英譯本外，幾乎全部都譯自俄國原始檔案。

Korean War: Russian Archives Declassified Documents
Beginning in 1990, Russia began publishing a considerable number of memoirs and interviews related to the Korean War. Russian, Korean, and American newspapers, periodicals, and magazines each published in different languages. Russian archives consist almost entirely of unedited, original documents. Although the first batch of released documents were chosen by relevant government departments, the later, larger release was completely determined by scholars who had directly unearthed them from the archive. The documents collected in this archive come mainly from the following sources: The Archive of the President of the Russian Federation (APRF), The Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation (AVPRF), The Russian Centre for the Preservation and Study of Documents of Most Recent History (RTsKhIDNI), The Center for Preservation of Contemporary Documentation (TsKhSD), The Russian Centre for the Preservation and Study of Documents of Most Recent History (TsAMORF). After they were organized, it turns out that there are 554 documents and 100 supplementary documents. Except for a few rare files, which only exist in English translation and for which it was impossible to track down the original Russian sources, the rest are almost all directly translated from original Russian documents.
