Visiting the Dadaocheng Customers of Tai-yi-hou in Nagasaki through Time Traveling

Publication date: 2013
Author: Chen Qiu-jin |Staff member of the Archives of Institute of Taiwan History

The Chinese enterprise Tai-yi-hou in Nagasaki, one of the figures in Traveling in Time Exhibition, was established in the beginning of the 20th century. Its commercial trade network crossed East-Asia including the treaty ports in Vladivostok, Korean Peninsula, coastline of China, Taiwan, Luzon, Malay Peninsula, etc. Tai-yi-hou’s customers were mainly Chinese merchants in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Since Taiwan became the colony of Japan in 1895, the Japanese Government proactively increased economic and trade relationships between Japan and Taiwan. Within this context, Tai-yi-hou gained the upper hand in expanding its business to Taiwan with its advantageous location, language and culture. Among all Tai-yi-hou Papers, approximately 17,000 commercial letters sent from Taiwan were preserved until today, and around 10,000 of which were sent from stores in Dadaocheng.

Great news! The archive's digital resources are now available for viewing at the Digital Library and Archive in the Academia Sinica South Campus.

To extend our vast research resources to southern Taiwan, the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Base at Academia Sinica South Campus has established a "Digital Library and Archive." This facility now provides access to digital resources from both the institute's library and humanities archive, eliminating the need for residents of central and southern Taiwan to travel all the way to Nangang, Taipei to access information.

The "Taiwan Archival Information System," which was originally restricted to on-site viewing at our Nangang Campus, is now also accessible at the digital library and archive in the South Campus. This database houses a diverse collection of Taiwan's folk documents, personal and family archives, and records from public and private institutions accumulated over the years. We welcome everyone to take advantage of these resources conveniently located nearby.
