By Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland

This is a catalogue of the library of the North China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, housed in the Society's building at No. 5 Museum Road. It offers a glimpse into the resources available to scholars and researchers in Shanghai during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a historical document, it provides insights into the intellectual interests and scholarly pursuits of the expatriate community and local scholars associated with the Royal Asiatic Society in China. The catalogue is an invaluable resource for those studying the history of Western engagement with China, the development of libraries in Asia, and the intellectual and cultural exchange that occurred in treaty port cities such as Shanghai. It serves as a bibliographical snapshot of a unique collection, reflecting the historical context in which it was assembled.
