This compilation of archival historical materials is a collection from the Shanghai Commodity Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, mainly selected from the archival collections of the Shanghai Municipal Archives and other relevant collections. The Shanghai Commodity Exchange was initiated in early 1917 and officially established in 1920, making it the earliest comprehensive exchange established in China. The selected archives in this compilation reflect the establishment and relevant operational activities of the exchange, providing primary source materials for studying the securities and commodity trading activities at that time. The mention of Zhang Jingjiang and Chiang Kai-shek's involvement in brokering securities and commodities trading at the exchange in the early 1920s is an issue of significant interest in historical studies. The China Second Historical Archives generously released archives and other historical materials related to this aspect, greatly enhancing the content of this book, and we express our gratitude for this. The Shanghai Stock Exchange was established by the Nationalist government after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War with the aim of promoting enterprise investment, facilitating economic rehabilitation, establishing a sound securities market, and supporting industrial and commercial enterprises. It commenced operations in September 1946, overseeing securities trading throughout the city and being the 'sole securities trading market' in China at that time, occupying a significant position in the socio-economic life of the period. In addition, we have selected various materials from relevant archives and old newspapers and periodicals as appendices. These are important historical materials for a comprehensive understanding and research of the securities industry in old Shanghai and even old China. We believe they offer valuable insights for the recently recovering securities market today.

本辑档案史料汇编，系上海证券物品交易所与上海证券交易所的合集，主要选自上海市档案馆所藏上海证券物品交易所全宗及其他有关全宗。上海证券物品交易所，发起于1917年初，正式创设于1920年，是我国创办最早的一家综合性交易所。本辑所选档案，反映了该所创建经过以及有关经营活动，是研究当时证券、物品交易活动的第一手材料。内中述及的20年代初张静江、蒋介石等在该所经纪证券物品交易一事，更是史学界颇为关注的问题。中国第二历史档案馆概允公布这方面的档案及其他史料，使 本书增色不少，在此谨表谢意。上海证券交易所，系抗战胜利后国民党当局为“提倡企业投资，促进经济复员，建立健全证券市场，扶助工商企业”而授意上海金融界组设的，开业于1946年9月，统辖全市的证券交易，这也是那时中国“唯一之证券交易市场”，在当时社会经济生活中占有重要一席。此外，我们还从有关档案、旧报刊中选取若干资料，作为附录，这些都是全面了解和研究旧上海乃至旧中国证券事业的重要史料，相信对今天复苏不久的证券市场也不无可供借鉴之处。
