The Photographic Materials of Michael H. Finegan Collections
The Photographic Materials of Michael H. Finegan Collections

Author: The Archives of Institute of Taiwan History

Michael H. Finegan Collections of the Archives of the Institution of Taiwan History include copious photographs and post cards. In addition, many photographic materials stored in the Institution of Taiwan History were collected from our researchers or donated by private collectors. These materials feature a wide range of topics and they are very precious. The Preparatory Office of the Institute of Taiwan History and the Institute of Folk Arts of Taipei National University of the Arts cooperated on the project “Taiwan Visual Memory Digitization and Preservation Project.” We jointly revised and established an appropriate photographic database and its field design from 2002 to 2004. Now, the result of the digitization project is merged into Taiwan Archival Information System and is searchable online.

2009-08-05

The “Taiwan Diary Knowledge Bank” (URL: http://taco.ith.sinica.edu.tw/tdk/) on a wiki platform is established by digital archives group at Institute of Taiwan History (ITH). Now it is online for test purpose, and regular researchers of Academia Sinica have access to it. Other users can use it at Historical Records Reading Room, ITH.

This database embodies useful and precious published dairies, including dairies of Chang Li-jun (1906-1937) and diaries of Lin Hsien-t'ang (1927-1940, dairies from 1941 to 1955 will soon be added one after another), inclusive of the full text and annotations attached to them. Users are able to browse the dairy articles by date, and perform full-text search.

Diaries are daily records of one feels and acts, and also the records of social change. They are important historical materials for studying personal history, family history, and the development of economy, society and politics.
