Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: The database not only provides online access to digital copies of the journals from cover to cover - it’s search and browsing features also offer researches access to indices of articles, illustrations, advertisements, key terms, and all types of persons. It mobilises and interrelates various bodies of data (e.g. visual and textual) within the same tableau. It enables the scholars involved in the project to create horizontal and vertical narratives and create interconnections between them. The database is of interest to scholars of cultural history and of Chinese cultural, print, literary, women’s, and art history. It offers students and non-experts a window onto the Chinese historical experience that goes beyond the grand narrative of the communist revolution, reductive notions of Asian values, and orientalized images of the sick men and the obsequious and bound-footed women of China.
