IHP Administrative Documents
The administrative documents of the IHP are currently housed in the Fu Ssu-nien Library and the Archives, IHP.
Prior to the establishment of the Archives in 2014, the administrative archives of the IHP were held and processed by the Fu Ssu-nien Library. They were categorized based on the location of the IHP as follows: “Yuan” (founding to pre-WWII period), “Kun” (Kunming, Yunnan province), “Li” (Lizhuang, Sichuan province), “Jing” (Nanjing, following demobilization), “Za” (misc.), and “Nan” (work reports throughout the years). Regarding our relocation to Taiwan, the archives also contain the categories “Yang” (Yangmei), “Gang” (Nangang, our present location), and “Kao” (transferred from the Center for Taiwanese Archaeology). The results of these cataloguing efforts can be found in the Library’s “Catalog of IHP Archives” (“Futu zhengbian Shiyusuo dang’an mulu”) database.
Concerning those in the Archives, there are two main sources: first, early documents previously held in IHP storerooms which have been transferred, and judging from their contents, the majority concern the Accounting division of the IHP. Second, following the establishment of the Archives, the Secretariat and other offices have been transferring administrative documents. In addition to adopting the Library’s principles regarding organization and categorization, the Archives has been assigning accession numbers and publicizing collation results.
