Chinese Maritime Customs project
Dragon flagBuilding on earlier collaborations with historians at Cambridge University and the Second Historical Archives of China, this 2003-07 AHRC-funded project was designed to further understandings of the modern Chinese state, British imperial history, and the history of modern globalization in China, by focusing on the role the Chinese Maritime Customs Service and its staff played in these historical processes. The first step was to produce a new catalogue of the 55,000 files that make up the archives of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service held at the Second Historical Archives at Nanjing. In 2007-08 we ran an exhibition of Customs and other related photographs and materials in London, Bath and Durham. This exhibition (Picturing China 1870-1950: Photographs from British Collections) is showing in Bristol in January-February 2009.
