Archives Related to the February 28 Incident and the White Terror

2017 marked the 70th anniversary of the February 28 Incident and 30 years since the martial law was lifted. Although the February 28 Incident and the White Terror are not forbidden topics in Taiwan society, many relevant archives are yet to be acquired and disclosed. Since its establishment, the Institute of Taiwan History has striven to collect folk papers, such as the following records related to the February 28 Incident and the White Terror: Historical Materials Related to the February 28 Incident and White Terror, Yang Zhao-jia Collection, Chen Cheng-po Paintings and Papers, Yeh Sheng-ji Papers, Chen Wen-xing Papers, Chen Zhong-tong Papers, The Diary of Lin Xian-tang, and The Diary of Wu Xin-rong.

Memory in Everyday Life: Taiwan Diary Exhibition is opened in National Archives Administration, NDC
2015-06-29

For spread diary collections and publications in Institute of Taiwan History (ITH), following exhibitions of “Every Day Is a Good Day: Taiwan Dairy Exhibition” in 2009 and “Diary in Life‧Kaohsiung in Diary Exhibition” in 2014, we cooperate with National Archives Administration, NDC and Kaohsiung Museum of History to hold “Memory Everyday in Life: Taiwan Diary Exhibition”.

12 writers’ diaries are exhibited, such as Zhang Li Jun(張麗俊), Fu Xi Qi(傅錫祺), Chen Huai Cheng(陳懷澄), Lin Xian Tang (林獻堂), Yang Shui Xin (楊水心), journalist-Huang Wang Cheng(黃旺成), movement promoter-Jian Ji(簡吉), doctor- Wu Xin Rong(吳新榮), Yang Ji Zen(楊基振), litterateur- Lu He Ruo(呂赫若), and the other are musician- Gao Ci Mei(高慈美) and Ye Cheng Ji. They saw real records of the development of Taiwan's history in their course of life history.

This exhibition especially prepares for two themes: the 1935 Taichung earthquake and the World War II in 1945. Choosing different writer’s dairies and photographs can let we look back memories of the earthquake before 80 years ago, or let we reflect on people’s feel when Taiwanese people sheltered from air raid and heard that the emperor of Japan announced surrender. The Diary Exhibition not only promotes research findings of historical materials to public, but also expects to discover more Taiwan diaries to inherit our common memory.
