SUMMARY:Archival Research in East Asian Studies: From Archives to Inquiry: New Horizons in East Asian Studies
DESCRIPTION:Archival Research in East Asian Studies Research Cluster 
 (APSI)\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Peter Zhou\, Director\, Soong Archive Project\, 
 Former Assistant University Librarian and Director of the C.V. Starr East 
 Asian Library\, UC Berkeley.\n\nWorkshop 4: From Archives to Inquiry: New 
 Horizons in East Asian Studies\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, newly developed 
 archival collections in East Asian studies have opened exciting avenues for 
 research and discovery in the historical\, cultural\, and social 
 development of China and the broader East Asian region. In this talk\, I 
 will introduce three significant archives housed at the C.V. Starr East 
 Asian Library of UC Berkeley: the Paul Fonoroff Collection for Chinese Film 
 Studies 方保罗中国电影研究资料特藏\, the largest archival 
 collection on Chinese film studies in North America\; the Yuen Ren Chao 
 Papers 赵元任档案\, the personal archive of an influential scholar 
 widely regarded as the “father of modern Chinese linguistics”\; and the 
 James Soong Archive 宋楚瑜档案\, one of our most recent acquisitions\, 
 comprising more than 100\,000 items documenting the democratization process 
 in modern Taiwan. I will highlight key features of these collections and 
 present selected artifacts that illustrate their scholarly 
 significance.\n\nThrough this discussion\, I will address both the content 
 and the methodology of conducting meaningful research in Chinese studies. 
 In particular\, I will demonstrate how the development of new archival 
 collections can catalyze emerging fields of inquiry\, how primary sources 
 can be used to formulate significant research questions\, and how scholars 
 can move from archival annotation and interpretation toward the production 
 of original scholarly publications. Even though the featured materials are 
 mostly for Chinese studies\, I will briefly relate to our efforts in and 
 plans for building archival materials for Japanese and Korean studies as 
 well. \n\n
