A Brief Journey through Tainanfu, Lugang, and Bangkah

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.

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.
