Authors/Creators

  • 1. Leipzig University

Description

This is a bi-monthly export.

CERD is a database of engineers from the Chinese Republican period (1912–1949). The digital analysis of historical registers has led to a prosopographic catalogue of persons, colleges, and workplaces. The data can be put in relation to one another by researchers to answer individual research questions.
