IHP Administrative Documents
The administrative documents of the IHP are currently housed in the Fu Ssu-nien Library and the Archives, IHP.
Those held by the Library are primarily composed of records from the early years of the IHP transferred from the Secretariat and have been categorized based on the location of the IHP: “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 have been transferred, including various recordings of fieldwork on disc, research materials of research fellows, and archived materials; judging from their contents, the majority concern the Accounting division of the IHP. Second, following the inauguration of the Archives, the Secretariat has been transferring administrative documents of note. In addition to adopting the Library’s principles of the organization and categorization, the Archives has recently been assigning accession numbers and publicizing collation results.
