Links. Based at the University of Bristol, 'Historical Photographs of China'.
The project now locates, digitises, and publishes online photographs of
China held, largely, in private hands outside the country. Although
there are some sets of material from institutional repositories, the
principal sources of our materials are families living outside China who
have historical connections with it, typically this involves a family
history of living and working there. Our sources are families who were
involved in public service, business, missionary work, police or foreign
armed forces. Most of our photographers were 'amateurs', although we
have some material from journalists, and much from individuals who
applied themselves seriously to the art of photography.
