2024-03-29

The "Taiwan Collectanea Online" is built upon the existing Taiwan Collectanea Search System from the Institute of Taiwan History, Academia Sinica, which contains nearly 50 million characters of full-text data. Additionally, it integrates approximately 12 million characters of digital information from recent excavations of the "Taiwan Shinminpo 臺灣新民報." Here is a brief overview of the collected content:

Taiwan Collectanea Search System full-text data
The "Taiwan Collectanea Search System" includes the complete texts of the "Taiwan Collectanea" compiled and published by the Economic Research Department of Taiwan Bank from 1957 to 1972. This collection covers official documents and private writings related to Taiwan from the Tang and Song dynasties to the Japanese colonial period. Additionally, it features summaries from the "Abstracts of Taiwan Collectanea " and Chiang Yu-ying's "Taiwan Fu Zhi 臺灣府志," totaling 311 titles in all.

"Taiwan Shinminpo" series collection of newspaper publications
"The collection includes digital enhancements of the "Taiwan Shinminpo," the only newspaper during the Japanese colonial period founded by Taiwanese individuals. It traces its origins back to the "Taiwan Minpo," and its most significant historical documents span from 1938 to 1941, previously unpublished and unstudied. Additionally, it continues with the "Kounan Shinbun 興南新聞" from 1923 to 1944, although some issues are missing (primarily from 1934-1937). Nonetheless, it remains the most comprehensive archive of the Taiwan Shinminpo available both domestically and internationally, comprising approximately 410,000 newspaper issues and over 12 million characters of full-text content, including headlines, editorials, overseas travel logs, local features, and more. Ongoing efforts are being made to continually add to this collection.

This database offers comprehensive data retrieval capabilities. Users can browse through volumes and chapters of the Taiwan Collectanea, view newspapers day by day or by lists, and explore full-text content by topic. Additionally, users have access to linked images. Effective immediately, this database is fully accessible for online use worldwide.
