General Physics Manuscripts (National Taiwan University)Type Collection Collection Identifier c0032 Alternative Title Manuscripts of the General Physics Laboratory Description Having passed through a long history—from inheriting the hand-made or antiquated laboratory apparatuses in the age of Taihoku Imperial University and receiving an abundance of equipment during the period of U.S. aid after Taiwan’s retrocession, to designing, retrofitting and producing apparatuses for educational purposes on its own—the development of the Physics Department of National Taiwan University (“NTU”) has assumed a representative role in the entire trajectory of Taiwan’s general physics experiments in education, and it thus takes on vital historical importance.The Digital Archive Project of the NTU General Physics Laboratory primarily contains the concrete apparatuses and resources used in general physics experiments in the Physics Department of National Taiwan University. The project aims to preserve and restore Taiwan’s general physics devices and experiment contents from earlier times, allowing antiquated apparatuses to run once again, and giving today’s physics students a glimpse of the experiments conducted by their predecessors, who had begun from zero, and of the invaluable shared notes and manuscripts written in the original language. These manuscripts encompass students’ class notes, experiment reports, and so forth. Size 21 articles by courtesy of Ming-hui Huang; 1 article by courtesy of Xian Shang; 1 article by courtesy of Zheng-zhong Xu; others: 4 articles (concrete objects/manuscripts). 234 entries by courtesy of Ming-hui Huang; 7 entries by courtesy of Xian Shang; 9 e Language English;Chinese Item Type Text; still image Item Format image/jpeg Rights Accrual Method Donation Accrual Periodicity Irregular Custodial History In addition to a variety of apparatuses that possess historical importance, the Physics Department of National Taiwan University has also preserved a large number of documents related to general physics experiments, which contain the experiment reports and notes of past students. It has been a tradition for students in the general physics course to write reports; due to the careful preservation of the teachers and the contribution of alumni, students’ preview reports and result reports after wars and during the period of the general physics reform have been successfully archived. By means of these manuscripts, one can gain an insight into the early physics students’ thirst for knowledge and their commitment to research in an age of material scarcity.
