References
This section is organized into four parts, each corresponding to a specific metadata field used for the documents available on the platform.
Bibliography
The bibliography aims to provide an extensive list of academic works and primary sources on Shanghai. Initially compiled from the references entered by project participants, it has expanded through systematic searches in a variety of sources and databases. References are included in European languages (Latin script), Chinese, and Japanese.
The bibliography is presented in two formats:
-
Bibliography – a comprehensive list of all records in the database, searchable by multiple criteria (author name, title, etc.) or across all fields. For multi-word searches, separate terms with a semicolon (;).
-
Thematic Bibliographies – curated lists focusing on specific topics for those pursuing targeted research.
We welcome suggestions for missing references. To recommend a bibliographical entry, please contact us at contact@virtualshanghai.net.
Biography
Whenever a contributor mentions an individual in a Virtual Shanghai document, a biographical fiche is created to provide available information about that person. The level of detail varies according to the sources available and the individual’s significance.
Searches can be conducted by name or by any word appearing in the biographical record. Search functions follow the same rules as those for the bibliography.
Publisher
This section lists the publishers of non-textual materials such as maps, audio recordings, and visual documents. It serves as a resource for project contributors. All documents associated with a given publisher are automatically compiled and linked to that publisher’s record.
Repository
The repository database identifies institutions—and, where authorized, private individuals—that own or host documents related to the history of Shanghai and featured on the Virtual Shanghai platform.
For each repository, we provide:
-
Name
-
Type of institution or collection
-
Website (when available)
-
Short description
Private persons or collections are listed only with their explicit consent.
