Archives Related to the February 28 Incident and the White Terror

2017 marked the 70th anniversary of the February 28 Incident and 30 years since the martial law was lifted. Although the February 28 Incident and the White Terror are not forbidden topics in Taiwan society, many relevant archives are yet to be acquired and disclosed. Since its establishment, the Institute of Taiwan History has striven to collect folk papers, such as the following records related to the February 28 Incident and the White Terror: Historical Materials Related to the February 28 Incident and White Terror, Yang Zhao-jia Collection, Chen Cheng-po Paintings and Papers, Yeh Sheng-ji Papers, Chen Wen-xing Papers, Chen Zhong-tong Papers, The Diary of Lin Xian-tang, and The Diary of Wu Xin-rong.

Special Lecture: Taiyi Trading Company and Chinese Merchants in Nagasaki
2012-02-16

In 1901, Taiyi Trading Company was founded in Nagasaki by Chen Guoliang (1804-1908) and Chen Shiwang (1869-1940), who were originally from Kinmen. They operated their wholesale business across Japan, China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. The large number of documents, which were created by the company and dated back from 1862 to 1940, provide important historical sources for researching on clan history and the ventures of overseas Chinese.

In order to introduce and promote these valuable materials, the Institute of Taiwan History invites Mr. Chen Tong-hua, the fourth-generation descendant of Taiyi Company to present a lecture on March 6, 2012. Mr. Chen will share the historical context of the company as well as his own involvement in the activities among overseas Chinese. You are welcome to attend this special event!
