Documents of IHP Staff
Concerning the archived documents of IHP staff, there are three main sources: first, the Archives is in possession of the personal collections, manuscripts, letters, and other materials deposited by early research fellows, including Pan Chen (1905–1999), Kan Lao (1907–2003), Fu Lohuan (1913–1966), Hsiao-ting Li (1918–1997), and Keng-wang Yen (1916–1996), which have been transferred from the IHP. These materials have been collated into individual fonds, e.g., Fonds of Kan Lao, Fonds of Fu Lohuan, etc.
Second are individual fonds derived from materials transferred by the IHP, such as the fonds of Hsi-mei Yang (1916–1993) and of Chun-yu Lin (?–?) from materials transferred by the Department of Anthropology, including ethnographic fieldnotes, research forms, manuscripts, and letters.
Third, materials have been donated by IHP staff themselves or their family members after retirement, resignation, or death. Since 2022, the Archives has actively collected the materials of research staff, which have been collated into fonds in order of their acquisition date. In terms of number of donated items, some of the larger fonds are those of Chuan-ying Yen, Chin-fu Hung (1946–2019), and Ying-shih Yü (1930–2021), including interview recordings, index cards, clippings, manuscripts, letters, and course handouts, some of which focus on specific topics.
