美国在我国台湾的中文文献获取研究(1949-1979)

Study on U.S.’Acquisition of Chinese Documents from Taiwan from 1949 to 1979

1949-1979年,美国在我国台湾的中文文献获取可分为3个阶段。第一阶段是1949-1954年,获得的文献极少;第二阶段是1955-1965年,美国国会图书馆与我国台湾文献机构达成交换协议,建立了稳定的文献来源,美国大学的参与使美国中文文献获取渠道多元化;第三阶段是1966-1979年,AAS台北中心、美国东亚图书馆协会等机构与我国台湾文献机构的合作使得美国中文文献获取途径全面化。

This paper makes a survey of U.S.’ acquisition of Chinese documents from Taiwan from 1949 to 1979.It could be divided into three phases,i.e.,1949-1954,1955-1965,and 1966-1979. From 1949 to 1954,U.S.acquired few Chinese documents from Taiwan. From 1955 to 1965,due to the exchange agreement signed in 1955 between the Library of Congress and the “National Library” of Taiwan,U.S. had a steady acquisition channel of Chinese documents. Besides,the participation of U.S. universities provided diversified acquisition channels of Chinese documents. In 1966,The Association for Asian Studies Chinese Materials and Research Aids Service Center in Taipei,or the AAS Taipei Center,started its stable operation. Thereafter,the AAS Taipei Center,the Council of East Asian Library and institutions in Taiwan,and some other U.S. institutions cooperated closely with Taiwan institutions,which led to the more comprehensive U.S.’ acquisition mechanism of Chinese documents.
