Where did I Leave My Footprints? Lin Xian-tang’s Journey to Europe

Publication date: 28 Nov 2013
Author: Ou Yi-han |Staff member of the Archives of Institute of Taiwan History

Lin Xian-tang (1881-1956), one of the figures in Traveling in Time Exhibition, was the leader of the Lin Family from Wufeng, Taichung. On May 15, 1927, he took the Fengshan Ferry from the Keelung Port with his two sons Pan-long and You-long starting to travel around in Europe and America. They spent 378 days visiting ten countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland. In his diary, Lin Xian-tang wrote of what he had seen in his journey and hoped to broaden Taiwanese’s knowledge of Western culture. Now, let’s follow Lin’s steps by reading The Diary of Mr. Guan-yuan in 1927 to visit Europe!

Great news! The archive's digital resources are now available for viewing at the Digital Library and Archive in the Academia Sinica South Campus.

To extend our vast research resources to southern Taiwan, the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Base at Academia Sinica South Campus has established a "Digital Library and Archive." This facility now provides access to digital resources from both the institute's library and humanities archive, eliminating the need for residents of central and southern Taiwan to travel all the way to Nangang, Taipei to access information.

The "Taiwan Archival Information System," which was originally restricted to on-site viewing at our Nangang Campus, is now also accessible at the digital library and archive in the South Campus. This database houses a diverse collection of Taiwan's folk documents, personal and family archives, and records from public and private institutions accumulated over the years. We welcome everyone to take advantage of these resources conveniently located nearby.
