This website is part of the National Digital Archives Program. Our team, participating in the project of treasured historical artefacts under the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, is in charge of ethnological materials such as images, documents and artefacts collected by the Institute's research fellows. These materials are digitalised and arranged in three categories: image, document and artefact. They will be put on website and database for research and promotion purposes. In addition, it is hoped that this project will also serve as a bridge between current and previous studies of minority peoples in southwestern China. This website therefore includes a section of China's Peripheries Reconstructed which recalls the dispatch of many researchers by the Institute to collect ethnographic data in the remote areas of southwestern China more than 60 years ago. This section also introduces the academic background of those researchers.
