China: Culture and Society

China: Culture and Society showcases rare pamphlets, mostly in English, published between 1750 and 1929 from the Wason Pamphlet Collection at Cornell University. They are mainly in the form of addresses and speeches, guides, lecture notes, letters, and meeting minutes, covering various aspects of China and foreign involvement there.

The pamphlets have been digitised in colour and the full text is searchable. A number of complementary secondary resources are also included to contextualise the core collection.
