Archival history

Material was previously under the custody of the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. With the creation of the East Asian Library archive and subsequent donations from the same creator, the decision was made to reunite the material under one repository. 10 boxes plus books were transferred to the Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library March 27, 2023. Arrangement of the material has been kept, except that Series 7: Books and Pamphlets have been places in a box together as they were previously shelved. Descriptions have been mostly kept, though some additional information has been added.
