The first half of the twentieth century began with the demise of Chinas last imperial dynasty, the Great Qing, and ended with the foundation of the Peoples Republic of China in October 1949. Following the 1912 establishment of Chinas first post-imperial government, the Republic of China, the country experienced both industrial and social revolution, a civil war during which communist and nationalist forces battled to shape the countrys future, and looming external threats during both world wars.

The Late Qing and Republican-Era Chinese Newspapers collection provides invaluable perspective on this critical period. The press of more than twenty cities is represented, spanning the Chinese mainland and the entire half century. The collection provides researchers a richly comprehensive perspective on Chinese life, culture, and politics throughout the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the years of provisional government and civil war, and the birth of the Peoples Republic.

Open Access to this collection is made possible through the generous support of the Center for Research Libraries and its member institutions.
