Summer 2010 13 EASC expOSUre East Asian Studies Center The Ohio State University easc.osu.edu Library News “Last of its kind” arrives at OSU’s East Asian Library

Zhongguo xiandai shi ziliao diaocha mulu and the Guomindang Archives in Taipei by Christopher A. Reed and Guoqing Li In January 2008, Christopher A. Reed, an associate professor of modern Chinese history in Ohio State’s Department of History, returned to Taipei to continue his research on the Guomindang supported by a Fulbright Senior Scholar Award. In Taiwan, Reed was affiliated with the Institute of Modern History at the Academia Sinica in suburban Taipei. Having worked in the Guomindang Archives, located in downtown Taipei, once before, Reed felt confident in his knowledge of how the archives worked. Although the archives, which hold about 10 percent of GMD’s entire central party archives (the other 90 percent were left behind in Nanjing when the GMD evacuated to Taipei in 1949 and have become the core of the PRC’s Number Two Archives) have moved around Taipei for over half a century, using them today is relatively easy thanks to the presence of a well-organized, comprehensive, and on-site card catalogue system (the catalogue has not been computerized, nor are there plans to do so). Although the card catalogue makes on-site access convenient, researchers outside Taipei, particularly those outside Taiwan, have always had trouble planning their visits. Now, thanks to a series of fortunate coincidences, doing so has become much easier for OSU researchers. Two months into his stay, Reed happened to have lunch with a historian of the GMD who told him about a little-known published archival catalogue. The catalogue is so rare that “even most Taiwan-based specialists have never heard of it,” Reed’s informant observed. Titled Zhongguo xiandai shi ziliao diaocha mulu (Classified catalogue of contemporary Chinese historical materials), it was compiled by a team of historians led by the Institute of Modern History’s one-time director Kuo Ting-yee at the same time that Kuo and others were systematizing the archives. Stencil-printed and bound in eleven red volumes in 1968 and then privately published, it was distributed to university and research libraries in Taiwan (but not to the GMD Archives!), to less than a dozen North American institutions, one in Australia, and none in Europe (according to “FirstSearch”). Ohio State was not among the American recipients; for forty years, the nearest libraries to Ohio State holding one of the catalogues were those of the universities of Michigan’s and Pittsburgh’s East Asian collections. Charting his way through the GMD collection based on the classified catalogue (which is organized both chrono- Summer 2010 re logically and topically) and then double-checking his references against the actual collection, Reed soon realized what an “Open Sesame!” he had stumbled onto. The catalogue provided a fairly reliable accounting of the archives holdings; only items transferred to Taiwan’s National Archives (Kuoshikuan) since the 1990s are not still found in the archives. When Reed returned to Columbus, his first thought was to ask Professor Guoqing Li, OSU Library’s Chinese/ Korean collection manager, to contact the University of Michigan and arrange to have the entire catalogue photo- copied for accession to OSU’s East Asian Library. That’s when things began to get murky. Michigan refused, saying

OSU that by the terms of the original gift they were not permitted to photocopy the publication. Then, at the end of 2008, Li contacted Wu’s Book Company, the Taiwan-based vendor he has been using, to see if OSU could buy a copy from Taiwan. Again, the answer came back negative, perhaps not surprising this time, given that the guide was never for sale in the first place and was compiled some forty years ago. The next place to turn, of course, was Academia Sinica’s Institute of Modern History itself since the catalogue was originally compiled by its team of historians. This time, Li resorted to a personal connection, the kind that usually works

exp better than open channels in East Asia. Early in January 2009, Li’s friend in the library of the Institute of Modern History replied with bad news: “Duplicates of the catalog are no longer available.” On January 9, however, Li’s friend wrote back to say that he now recalled a set lying in an out-of-way corner of the Institute. Two days later, he replied “Eureka!” informing Li that the collection had been located and would be given to OSU for free! Soon after the 2009 Chinese New Year, the OSU Library received the set as a New Year’s gift from Academia Sinica in Taiwan. Professor Reed was happy, and so was Professor Li! What a perfect way to begin the Year of the Monkey! EASC

East Asia-related displays on view in newly-renovated Thompson Library With the opening of the newly-renovated Thompson Library in Autumn 2009, display space for East Asia- related collections is now available. Two Japanese collections are currently on display—Okinawan Toys and Other Objects from the Leon K. Walters Collection and Analyzing the Appeal of Manga: Popular Manga. The former is located on the second floor, across from the Grand Reading Room, and the latter is located on the eighth floor. From the Chinese collection, books received through OSU’s exchange program with the Shanghai Library are on display to celebrate the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. The expo officially opened in Shanghai on May 1, 2010. Acquisitions from the four-year-old exchange program are located in a display case in the southwest corner on the first floor of the library.

Library staff are especially grateful to Professor Katsumi Tanaka (Professor Emeritus, Physics) and Mrs. Kazuko Tanaka who recently donated 165 volumes of rare and historical Japanese language books.
