Archives Related to the February 28 Incident and the White Terror
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.

Archives Retrieval

For many years, the Archives of Institute of Taiwan History has put in a great deal of effort to collect and preserve important archives and historical materials. For the sake of accessing archives and supporting academic research, the Archives established Taiwan Archival Information System, which has compiled different archives such as folk papers, personal and family records, and governmental and individual archives for the past 20 years. The online catalog of archives is open. The ITH Archives welcomes people to search online or to visit the Reading Room to retrieve documents in person.

The Reading Room is open to people aged 18 and older. The Archives of ITH is open from 9:00 to 17:00 with no break at noon from Monday to Friday and closed on weekends and national holidays.

Our archives are kept in closed stacks. In light of the difference in data form, collecting agreements, copyright law and other regulatory restrictions, the archives are classified into three types according to access level: viewing and transcribing in ITH Archives, viewing and printing in ITH Archives and online viewing and printing without limitations. Readers who intend to access the archives have to register an account on Taiwan Archival Information System (TAIS) first. After logging in TAIS, readers can identify access level of archives by the field named “Alternative Form Available” which is under the “Series“ hierarchy.

If you would like to access the archives at ITH personally, please send the “Archives Retrieval Application Form” to our e-mail address two days prior to your visit. We would not inform you when your requested archive is prepared. Please come to ITH Archives Reading Room on time according to your appointment. Our staff will assist you to access the archives upon your request. The procedure for archives retrieval usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.

The terms of use are mentioned above. Please refer to the “Archives Reading Policy in the Archives of Institute of Taiwan History, Academia, Sinica” for more details. If you have further questions or requests, please feel free to contact us.
