The Archives of the Institute of Taiwan History (ITH) at Academia Sinica holds a wide variety of historical sources pertaining to women of Taiwan; these materials date back to the Qing dynasty and can be examined from three aspects— “Traditional Women,” “Transition of Fate,” and “Self Expression.” They illustrate how Taiwanese women emerged from traditional family to modern job market and social activities with activism and independence.

The collections of marriage documents, contracts, photographs, diaries, and personal documents presented here are selected from the digital archives of the ITH. With the help of advanced digital technology, not only can we preserve the diversity of Taiwan’s historical archives, but this also allows us to witness the change in Taiwanese women’s status from dependency to autonomy during the past century.
