From 1872 until 1949, readers across China relied on the Shanghai news daily Shen Bao, China’s first modern newspaper. Today East Asian scholars rely on this archive for insights on China from the late Qing Dynasy through the Minguo (Republican) era that culminated in Communist revolution.

Scholars can access Shen Bao on two platforms, each with their own unique search functionality:

– Shen Bao (on the Green Apple platform)

– Shen Bao (on the Huawenku platform)
