Publication date: 14 Oct 2015
Author: Huang Hsiang-chi |Staff member of the Archives of Institute of Taiwan History

Taiwan has been an important stronghold in the Pacific Ocean since the Age of Discovery. Tainanfu, Lugang, and Bangkah were three critical commercial port cities that played a crucial role in the trading history of Taiwan. These three cities witnessed Taiwan’s involvement in the international trade zone and symbolized its busy business activities starting in the seventeenth century. This article investigates records created by a Qing official Shen Bao-zhen, the Hsu family enterprise in Lugang, and the Chen family enterprise in Nagasaki to illustrate the rich history of these three port cities.

2017-08-16

In order to provide a more convenient platform for data searching and text retrieval, we will merge Taiwan Sotokufu Digital Archive into Taiwan Archival Information System in September this year as we consider the original system developer of Taiwan Sotokufu Digital Archive will not update the software anymore. Hence, readers who apply an account of Taiwan Archival Information System can view the catalogs and digital images of the official documents of Sotokufu online in September this year.

After the transfer process is completed, Taiwan Sotokufu Digital Archive would not provide services of adding value. Users who need to browse the official documents of Sotokufu please access to " Taiwan Archival Information System ".
