Designed for anyone interested in modern and contemporary China's history, and especially educators and students, this website presents more than twenty interactive biographies of famous and more obscure objects of China's Mao Era (1949-1976). Each object biography includes an essay that introduces and contextualizes the object's history, and shows how it shaped politics, culture, economy, society and everyday day life during this tumultuous time. Essays are accompanied by several historical primary sources, including photos, propaganda posters, translated newspaper articles, brief memoirs, videos, and so on, many of which are available for download. Additional features include an interactive timeline and map, an essay on the concept of "the object" in Chinese history, a guide for using the website as a teaching resource, and a further readings list. Teachers of Chinese history at schools and universities will find the resource particularly useful as a complement to existing textbooks.

The Digital Analysis System for Humanities develops digital tools to meet the demands of humanities research, assisting scholars in upgrading the quality of their research. We hope to integrate researchers, research data, and research tools to broaden the scope of research and cut down research time. The Platform provides a comprehensive research environment with cloud computing services, offering all the data and tools scholars require. Researchers can upload texts and authority files, or use others’ open texts and authority files available on the platform. Authority terms possess both manual and automatic text tagging functions, and can be hierarchically categorized. Once text tagging is complete, you can calculate authority term and N-gram statistics, or conduct term co-occurrence analysis, and then present results through data visualization methods such as statistical charts, word clouds, social analysis graphs, and maps. Furthermore, the platform provides functionality for similar-passage comparison, Boolean search, word proximity search, and statistical filtering, enabling researchers to easily carry out textual analysis.

T.100 別譯雜阿含 project - Buddhist Informatics @ Dharma Drum Buddhist College The Digital Comparative Edition of the Bieyi za ahan jing 別譯雜阿含經 (BZA) is a project undertaken by the Dharma Drum Buddhist College 法鼓佛教研修學院 and funded by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange 蔣經國國際學術交流基金會. This comparative digital edition: - provides new punctuation for the BZA and the Za ahan jing 雜阿含經 (ZA) sutras - corrects and documents mistakes in previous editions - distinguishes and visualizes parallel and non-parallel passages between the BZA and other Chinese and Pāli versions, enabling the user to conveniently compare the different texts of a cluster - refines and expands the contents of the 364 text clusters - provides an annotated English translation of selected sections of the BZA - enables statistical linguistic analysis by creating aligned parallel corpora (not online) - is extensible and allows for further material to be added - provides a basis for future digital editions of Buddhist literature with regard to markup and content management. The Bieyi za ahan jing 別譯雜阿含經 (BZA) consists of 364 sutras and belongs to the early Chinese Buddhist texts collectively called Ahan (Āgama) sutras 阿含經. Ahan literature constitutes the earliest stratum of Buddhist literature. The originals (in Buddhist Sanskrit) are largely lost, only a few fragments have survived. Next to the Chinese tradition only the Theravāda tradition has preserved a comprehensive set of these sutras in Pāli. While the Nikāyas, as the Ahan sutras are called the Theravāda tradition, have been extensively studied and fully translated into English, Japanese and German, there are extremely few translations or critical editions of the Chinese Ahan sutras. Generally, all of the 364 short sutras contained the BZA have at least one parallel in Chinese and one Pāli parallel (with commentary). Often there are several parallels in Chinese and Pāli, at times even a fragment in Buddhist Sanskrit[1] has survived. This project has created a digital comparative edition of the BZA, which connects these text-clusters. The source files of the edition are freely available. Moreover, we have studied several aspects of the text and translated parts of the BZA into English with extensive annotation.[2] Textbase for the Chinese is the CBETA edition, for the Pāli data the Vipassana Research Institute has kindly granted us permission to use the text of the Chaṭṭha Saṅgāyana CD. The markup of the XML files uses the encoding scheme of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) which is transformed into HTML for the user.[3] The markup expresses the basic dialogic structure of the content, names, differentiates between prose and verse parts, and connects them to the authoritative printed versions. For the Pāli and longer Chinese parallels the markup distinguishes between larger parallel and non-parallel passages. Each of the 364 BZA sutras is presented within a cluster of its parallels. All texts within a cluster are linked through a comparative catalog. Middleware between the source files and the user application is eXist, a native XML database. The end-user selects the cluster s/he wants to view online and can further select which of the texts in the cluster to display, in a two- or three column layout. The project was started in summer 2005 and concluded in autumn 2008.

MADSpace (Mapping Advertising Space) was born in 2016 as a digital companion to a PhD dissertation devoted to a spatial history of advertising in modern China. It was designed to store, organize and connect primary sources or raw data (archives, printed materials, maps, photos), analytical materials or cooked data (graphs, maps, trees, tables, timelines), multimedia narratives (dissertation, published papers, unpublished essays), bibliographical references and other resources. It also includes a relational database of some 2,000 historical actors involved in the advertising industry (companies, branded products). Since then, it has expanded beyond its initial purpose to include over 950 archival documents, 1,500 printed materials, 1,000 images, and more than 700 “cooked data” to date, all related to various interconnected research interests that branch out of the history of advertising, such as market expertise, consumer culture, Americanization, the modern press and public opinion in China. It is regularly updated and enriched.

The People’s Map of Global China tracks China’s complex and rapidly changing international activities by engaging an equally global civil society. Using an interactive, open access, and online ‘map’ format, we collaborate with nongovernmental organisations, journalists, trade unions, academics, and the public at large to provide updated and updatable information on various dimensions of Global China in their localities. The Map consists of profiles of countries and projects, sortable by project parameters, Chinese companies and banks involved, and their social, political, and environmental impacts. This bottom-up, collaborative initiative seeks to provide a platform for the articulation of local voices often marginalised by political and business elites. It is our hope that the information collected by this networked global civil society will be a useful resource for policymaking, research, and international advocacy.

In 2018, the East Asian Library of the University of Pittsburgh Library System (ULS) proposed the Contemporary Chinese Village Gazetteer Data (CCVG Data) project, with the goal of creating an open dataset consisting of data selected from the ULS collection of Chinese village gazetteers. Village gazetteers record statistical data on individual villages, covering the years from 1949 to the present showing the history and development of Chinese villages (the village is the most basic administrative unit in China). The CCVG Data project, the first of its kind, offers scholars a dataset based on the ULS East Asian Library’s growing collection of Chinese village gazetteers, which currently numbers over 2,700. Since the project aims to represent as much of China as possible, gazetteers were chosen for inclusion based on the goal of representing each of China’s provinces, if possible. Within each province, gazetteers are chosen for inclusion at random. It should be noted that the availability of village gazetteers varies by province. To create the CCVG dataset, gazetteers were selected from the collection, demographic and economic data was collected from these volumes, and this data was extracted using a data entry platform designed by the ULS. The resulting dataset is published on this website for free download by scholars around the world. The current dataset covers 1,200 villages and was uploaded in May 2021. The project will continue extracting data from more gazetteers as time and resources allow with the goal of eventually reaching 2,500–3,000 village gazetteers. The dataset containing information on 1,200 villages is available for download in .csv format. An interactive map with basic administrative information on each collected village is also included in the website. A database with tools of filtering, cross-searching, and visualizations is currently under design.

The ERC funded research project BuddhistRoad creates a new framework to enable understanding of the complexities in the dynamics of cultural encounter and religious transfer in pre-modern Eastern Central Asia—the vast area extending from the Taklamakan desert to Northeast China. This region was the crossroads of ancient civilisations. Its uniqueness was determined by complex dynamics of religious and cultural exchanges gravitating around an ancient communication artery, known as the Silk Road. Buddhism was one major factor in this exchange; its transfer predetermined the transfer of adjacent aspects of culture.

The Xinjiang Data Project (XDP) brings together rigorous, empirical research on the human rights situation for Uyghurs and other non-Han nationalities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in western China. It focuses on a core set of topics including mass internment camps, surveillance and emerging technologies, forced labour and supply chains, the ‘re-education’ campaign, deliberate cultural destruction and other human rights issues. Drawing on open source data including satellite imagery, Chinese government documents, official statistics and a range of authoritative reports and academic studies, the Xinjiang Data Project documents the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing program of human rights abuses and tech-enhanced authoritarianism in Xinjiang, and explores its global implications. Valuable source of information for journalists, investigators, and academics.

International Dunhuang Project (IDP) is a ground-breaking international collaboration to make information and images of all manuscripts, paintings, textiles and artefacts from Dunhuang and archaeological sites of the Eastern Silk Road freely available on the Internet and to encourage their use through educational and research programmes.
