Consisting of monographs, manuscripts, periodicals, correspondence and letters, historical photos, ephemera, and other kinds of historical documents, these collections provide excellent primary source materials for the understanding and research of the various aspects of China during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, such as diplomacy/international relations, economy/trade, politics, Christianity, sinology, education, science and technology, imperialism, and globalization.

Sunday Times Historical Archive: 1822-2021

Introduction: The Sunday Times launched its storied run on 20 October 1822, promising to instill “an invigorating spirit” in its readership, and to uphold the freedom of the press against those “emperors, kings, and their ministers” who would stifle it. Since that first issue, the newspaper has consistently provided thoughtful analysis and commentary on the week’s news and society at large. Murder, theater, sports, and politics—all meet in its pages in an abundance of colorful detail.
