Introduction
The research materials and personal documents of IHP Research Fellow Yi-jen Chang (1930–2009) were donated to the Archives by family member Ms. Pei-yi Chang on June 7, 2022. Yi-jen Chang was a long-time faculty member of both the IHP and the Department of Chinese Literature at National Taiwan University, where he was renowned for his research on the Chinese Classics and ci lyric poetry. Chang’s archival materials were originally held by current doctoral candidate fellow Chong-fang Chen of the Institute of Modern History and totaled three packages. Their contents include his research notes on Zuo Zhuan, Guoyu, and the ci lyric poetry of Nalan (Nara). Perhaps of most value are the remarkable annotations authored by Chang found between the lines of works of interest containing his scholarly ruminations.
