Royal Asiatic Society Beijing – Searching for China in the Archives – 6/12/14

China in the Archives

an RASBJ panel discussion
Saturday December 6th 2:30-4:30 p.m.

The Royal Asiatic Society China, Beijing invites you to a December 6th panel discussion on how hidden nuggets of information about China are revealed through archival research, enriching our understanding of Chinese society today. Panelists include Beijing Postcards co-founder Lars Ulrik Thom, who’ll discuss how Beijing archives have helped enliven his walking tours of old Beijing, and Marie-Anne Souloumiac who was inspired by diary material and archival films to promote the legacy of her late grand-father, the legendary Dutch author, diplomat and Sinologist Robert van Gulik. Ms. Souloumiac recently attended the opening of a permanent exhibition in Chongqing’s Three Gorges Museum dedicated to van Gulik, who wrote the famous Judge Dee detective stories based on the life of a Tang Dynasty Chinese magistrate.
Newsweek’s Beijing Bureau Chief Melinda Liu will moderate the talk.
