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.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Institution of Taiwan History (ITH), the ITH and the Academia Sinica Digital Center have jointly organized the “Traveling in Time” Special Exhibition.

The exhibition contains the colorful lives of notable historical figures, dating from the 1860s to 1960s. Selected individuals, include: Baozhen Shen (Ching Dynasty Officialdom), Chihu Hsu (Lukang family-run business trader), the Chen family (operated a family-run Nagasaki Tai-Eki Trading Company), Kazue Tsutsumibayashi (international entrepreneur), Tokusaburou Miyoshi (tea trader), Chenpo Chen (painter), Tzemei Kao (pianist), Hsientang Lin (anti-colonialism reformer), Jhaojia Yang (nationalist activist), and Kiyoshi Hasegawa (Taiwan Sōtokufu Governor). The selected materials for this exhibition include family letters, photographs, personal diaries, private manuscripts, and certificates. Except for still images and paper documents, interactive multimedia activities are offered in the exhibition hall.

These exhibited items were collected through contributions of various donors from different corners of the world, from which memories about Taiwan could be re-explored. These historical elements depict trading networks in Taiwan and beyond, featuring intellectuals' campaigns for reform, and nostalgic expressions from those who were far away from home. We are warmly inviting you to trace the footsteps of sojourners, local inhabitants, in and out of Taiwan and its offshore islands, throughout different time frames, while rediscovering precious memories that belong to this land.
