The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library of the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard is a research library devoted to the history of women. Although the main body of the library’s collection focuses on women’s experience in the U.S., one can find plentiful materials reflecting the long history of interactions between American women and the world. Here are some photos from its collection about women doctors and nurses working in early twentieth-century China.
You can find more examples on http://hollis.harvard.edu/ or http://via.lib.harvard.edu/ with the title keywords: Portraits of women doctors working in China.

“Unlike most of the collections outside Japan, this collection does not contain many government or administrative maps. Its focus is on privately published and travel related maps and guides published in Japan during the Tokugawa or Edo period. There is world coverage, although the majority of maps are of the whole or parts of Japan. A number of prominent Japanese ukiyo-e (woodblock print) artists are represented, among whom are: Hishikawa Moronobu, Miyagawa Chôshun, Shiba Kôkan, Kuwagata Keisai (Shôshin), Katsushika Hokusai, Ando Hiroshige and Hashimoto Sadahide.”
Dear Patrons,
The library is now reconstructing the Research Guide for East Asian Studies. Instead of relying on our speculations and conventional wisdom, we decided to take a different approach this time — a kind of crowd-sourcing. We hope you can tell us what you think would make it most useful for you and your students, in terms of the structure and the content.
According to the current scheme, the guide will focus on resources in western languages, with a selection of some most important ones in East Asian languages, and will be arranged by both genre (books, journals, images, etc.) and discipline (literature, philosophy, history, etc.), but these are all subject to change. Any suggestions will be very appreciated!
The library now has three research guide(see below), and we anticipate a preliminary version of this fourth one will be online by the spring term.
