History

There are a few sources that detail the history of the archives including Bin’s and Bartlett’s articles.

Bin’s

Collections

Collections

Mao’s article and Lai’s article provide information on the collections of the archives. The archive’s official website is helpful in this regard. I could also add some photos of the galleries and collections in the archives.

I could also add some photos of the gallery

”’Reputation”’

I need to find some news reports about the archives to collect information on the reviews the archives receive.

”’Governance and Departments”’

I can find related information on the official website.

You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Bibliography As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following: Is the source from a reliable publication? Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking. Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts. Is the source verifiable? In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source. Is the source independent of the subject? Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations. For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person’s webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent. Is the source primary or secondary? Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content. Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge. Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia. If you’re working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines. If you’re creating a new article, consider the following: Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines. In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you’re writing about. Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations. Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don’t count towards the notability requirement. Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully. Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you’re trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully. If you’re not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia’s sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

• These are two academic articles written by an archivist William W. Moss III. The articles are published on pretty good journals. They meet the criteria of credibility. They give a historical overview of archives in China and provide some useful information on the First Historical Archives of China.

Mao, L., & Ma, Z. (2012). “Writing History in the Digital Age”: The New Qing History Project and the Digitization of Qing Archives. History Compass, 10(5), 367-374.

• This is another academic paper that discusses an important project that the First Historical Archives of China is involved in.

Lai, C. K. (2017). Enterprise history: studies and archives. In Chinese Business History (pp. 169-188). Routledge.

• This is a book chapter that states that the First Historical Archives of China are important resources for studies of enterprise history. It provides some information on what materials the archives house.

Bartlett, B. S. (1981). An archival revival: the Qing central government archives in Peking today. Ch’ing-shih wen-t’i, 4(6), 81-110.

• The two papers are written by Beatrice Bartlett, an American historian of modern Chinese history who worked and conducted research in the archives for 10 months. The papers are published on good journals. They provide substantial information on the history of the First Historical Archives of China. They might become my main sources of information.

Bin. G. (2024). Description of documentation relating to the history of Macao held in the First Historical Archive of China. http://www.icm.gov.mo/rc/viewer/20019/1023#’LAB2001900180001′)

• This is an article written by a research director of the archives and it is published on the official website of the Cultural Affairs Bureau in Macao. The Chinese version of the article is published on a reputable Chinese journal. It first traces the history of the archives and gives information on the documented materials relating to the history of Macao.

• The official website of the archives provides some up-to-date information on collections, galleries and events organized by the archives.

Edit this section to compile the bibliography for your Wikipedia assignment. Add the name and/or notes about what each source covers, then use the “Cite” button to generate the citation for that source.

Examples: Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980 Kingston, Jamaica: University of the West Indies Press. This is a book published by a university press, so it should be a reliable source. It also covers the topic in some depth, so it’s helpful in establishing notability. Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo (2013-11-08). “Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border”. Phytotaxa. This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source. It covers the topic in some depth, so it’s helpful in establishing notability. Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John (2016). “Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics”. Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society. This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source for a specific fact. Since it only dedicates a few sentences to the topic, it can’t be used to establish notability.

Now that you have compiled a bibliography, it’s time to plan out how you’ll improve your assigned article. In this section, write up a concise outline of how the sources you’ve identified will add relevant information to your chosen article. Be sure to discuss what content gap your additions tackle and how these additions will improve the article’s quality. Consider other changes you’ll make to the article, including possible deletions of irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect information, restructuring of the article to improve its readability or any other change you plan on making. This is your chance to really think about how your proposed additions will improve your chosen article and to vet your sources even further. Note: This is not a draft. This is an outline/plan where you can think about how the sources you’ve identified will fill in a content gap.

I think two most important sections I could add is History and Collections. Besides, I could also add sections like Reputation including both positive and negative reviews if those information is available, Governance, and Departments.

History

There are a few sources that detail the history of the archives including Bin’s and Bartlett’s articles.

Collections

Mao’s article and Lai’s article provide information on the collections of the archives. The archive’s official website is helpful in this regard. I could also add some photos of the galleries and collections in the archives.

Reputation

I need to find some news reports about the archives to collect information on the reviews the archives receive.

Governance and Departments
