查漏补缺:缩微技术在我国近代图书馆界的传播与应用

Leak Filling:the Dissemination and Application of Microform Technology in Modern Chinese Library Circle

本研究基于新史料,完善了缩微技术在我国近代图书馆界传播与应用的历史。我国最早介绍缩微技术的图书馆类期刊是《图书馆学季刊》,但发文时间并非始于1936年,而是1932年;一些非图书馆类报刊甚至更早报道了缩微技术在图书馆中的应用。1935年以后,各类报刊开始广泛地对缩微技术进行科普,增强了我国近代图书馆界对缩微技术的认知。我国图书馆界实际接触缩微技术,源自图书馆花钱请人缩摄流落海外的中国善本,带回缩微胶卷,但进行时间并非始于1935年,而是1933年。我国图书馆界正式使用缩微摄影机复制文献,始于1940年的协和医学院图书馆,还有同一年的岭南大学图书馆。抗战期间,美国陆续捐赠给我国一些缩微胶卷和少量放映机,除了1942年的“国际学术文化资料供应”项目,还有1940年的“促进中国戏剧发展”项目。

Based on the new historical materials,this study improved the history of the dissemination and application of microfilm technology in the modern Chinese library circle.The earliest library periodical that introduced microform technology was Library Science Quarterly,but the publication time was 1932 rather than 1936.Some non-library newspapers and periodicals even reported earlier on the application of microfilm technology in libraries.After 1935,various newspapers and periodicals began to popularize micrographics widely,which enhanced the recognition of microform technology in modern Chinese library circles.The actual application of microfilm technology in Chinese library circle began in 1933,not 1935,when libraries paid someone to copy rare Chinese books abroad and bring back microfilm.The Chinese library circle officially uses microfilm cameras to replicate literature,in addition to the Union Medical College Library in 1940,there was also the Lingnan University Library in the same year.During the Anti Japanese War,the United States gradually donated some microfilm and a small amount of projectors to China,in addition to the“International Academic and Cultural Information Supply”project in 1942,there was also the“Promoting the Development of Chinese Drama”project in 1940.
