Description

Database topics
News; Asian Studies (East, South & Southeast Asia; Middle East); East Asia Studies
Summary
"The first half of the twentieth century began with the demise of China's last imperial dynasty, the Great Qing, and ended with the foundation of the People's Republic of China in October 1949. Following the 1912 establishment of China's first post-imperial government, the Republic of China, the country experienced both industrial and social revolution, a civil war during which communist and nationalist forces battled to shape the country's future, and looming external threats during both world wars. The Late Qing and Republican-Era Chinese Newspapers collection provides invaluable perspective on this critical period. The press of more than twenty cities is represented, spanning the Chinese mainland and the entire half century. The collection provides researchers a richly comprehensive perspective on Chinese life, culture, and politics throughout the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the years of provisional government and civil war, and the birth of the People's Republic"--Publisher's description.

18. The Digital Cicognara Library : an open-access collection of the early literature of the arts [2016 - ]

Description
Book — 1 online resource : color illustrations
Database topics
French and Italian Studies; Art, Architecture and Design; Ancient Greek and Roman Culture; Medieval Studies
Summary
The Digital Cicognara Library is an international initiative to recreate in digital form the remarkable private book collection of Count Leopoldo Cicognara (1767-1834). Though assembled in the Romantic era, Cicognara's collection of some five thousand early imprints still comprises the foundational literature of art and archaeology. Cicognara's famous, two-volume inventory of his library, the Catalogo ragionato dei libri d'arte e d'antichità, published in 1821 and often reprinted, remains an essential tool for scholars and bibliophiles. Still in development, this site currently features the 1821 Catalogo ragionato combined with modern bibliographic descriptions plus a limited number of images. The full Digital Cicognara Library will be built out gradually over the coming months. When complete, the application will consist of the full text of the Catalogo, integrated with digital images and full text of every title in the corpus, including black-and-white facsimiles of the original volumes in the Vatican; one or more high-resolution, color facsimiles of unique copies from partner libraries; and thorough bibliographic information. Thanks to generous support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and partner institutions, the Digital Cicognara Library will be an open-access resource.
