Resources Portal
In order to make resources on the history of Western medicine in China more readily available to researchers around the world, finding guides for several major repositories are being created, and selected primary source documents and limited circulation publications are being digitized and made available here. This and other information will be accessible via this website portal, including links to existing bibliographies, databases, and inventories of archives and libraries, as well as a searchable inventory of hospitals, medical schools, nursing schools, and pharmacy schools in China, 1800-1950.
