Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: This database contains records for over 140,000 articles published in Chinese Buddhist Journals of the Republican Era (1911-1949). These are all articles collected in the Minguo fojiao qikan wenxian jicheng 民國佛教期刊文獻集成, (Complete Collection of Republican-Era Buddhist Periodical Literature) (MFQ), and its supplement the Minguo fojiao qikan wenxian jicheng bubian 民國佛教期刊文獻集成．補編, (MFQB). Both MFQ and MFQB were compiled under the leadership of Huang Xianian 黃夏年 and published in 2006 and 2007 respectively.
The database was constructed from 2007 to 2009. For the first time it is possible to search titles and author names within certain journals. From the interface it is possible to search for certain genres (prefaces, poetry, advertisement etc.), which are again divided in sub-genres. While we have decided the naming of the 15 main genres, most sub-genre titles are used in the journals themselves.
