Some Academic Activities in China 1949–1952

The Institute of History and Philology was the only one among the 13 research institutes of the Academia Sinica which evacuated Nanking and moved to Formosa in the winter of 1948. Under the able direction of the late Director Fu Ssu-nien, the entire collection of Anyang finds, the valuable library, the documents from the former Imperial Archives, the collection of ethnological material, as well as the most complete phonetic and linguistic records were shipped intact to Formosa and installed at its new headquarters at Yang Mei, Taipeh.
