History of Investigation of Paintings and Calligraphy at the Palace Museum Recorded in John C.Ferguson′s Documents in Nanjing University Library

二十世纪三十年代,美籍汉学家福开森作为专门委员参与了故宫博物院的书画审查工作。新发现的南京大学图书馆藏福开森文献全面记录了当年书画审查的过程与细节。对这批文献的梳理与研究,不仅填补了故宫博物院历史的一段空白,揭示了福开森对中国书画的鉴定与保存做出的贡献,也体现了对图书馆馆藏历史文献进行深入整理的必要性。

In the 1930s,American sinologist John C.Ferguson participated in the investigation of paintings and calligraphy at the Palace Museum as a special committee member.The newly discovered John C.Ferguson′s documents in Nanjing University Library comprehensively record the process and details of the investigation of paintings and calligraphy in those years.The sorting and study of this batch of documents not only fills a gap in the history of the Palace Museum and reveals the contribution of John C.Ferguson to the appraisal and preservation of Chinese paintings and calligraphy,but also reflects the necessity of in-depth sorting of historical documents in the library.
