Co-organized by École française d’Extrême-Orient (Paris and Beijing Center), Max Weber Foundation (and its Branch Office in Peking), and École des hautes études en sciences sociales (CECMC), sponsored by Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange.This conference, which is inscribed within the same framework as previous meetings held in Cambridge and Paris, is designed as a workshop focusing on the presentation of the archives of the period ranging from the end of the Ming to the Republican period, or, in other words, from the end of the 16th century to 1949. Clearly, in view of the sheer number of archives, it would be impossible to address all of them. We have, therefore, decided to focus on a region that corresponds more or less to the middle and lower course of the Yangzi River 揚子江, encompassing the current provinces of Jiangsu 江蘇, Anhui 安徽, Zhejiang 浙江, Jiangxi 江西, and Hunan 湖南, with the prerequisite of having numerous and varied documents that are easily accessible and concentrated in a single place. Over the last few decades, Chinese and Japanese historians have dedicated numerous studies on this material and published huge collections of local primary sources. The objective of this conference is to make European historians aware of the nature of these archives, the methodologies applied, the themes addressed, and the new perspectives offered. To fulfill this objective, a first step will be to raise awareness, in addition to confirmed researchers, of young researchers. For this reason, we offered travel grants for European students to attend this conference.1st day, Wednesday October, 16th IHA, 8, rue du Parc Royal, Paris 3e 9:15-9:45: Registration for recipients of the European travel subvention9:45-10 Welcome10:00 Welcome speech and Chairman: Hans Van Ess (President of Max Weber Stiftung)10:15-12: ZHENG Zhenman 鄭振滿 (Professor, Institute of History, University of Xiamen), “The usefulness of primary archives: The archives of the mountainous regions of Fujian Province”12-13:15 Lunch13:15-15: A Feng 阿風 (Professor, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences), “Contracts and Jiangnan Society” 契约与 江南社会.15-15:15 Break15:15-17: ZHANG Yi 章毅 (Associate Professor, Department of History of Jiaotong University, Shanghai), “The association of the cult of Dipankara and the Qing dynasty archives from the village of Shicang in the province of Zhejiang” 定光古佛 寿诞会簿与清代浙南石仓文书”.17-17:15 Break17:15-17:45 Discussion 2nd day, Thursday October 17th EHESS, salle 7-37, 54, Bd Raspail, Paris 5e9:15-9:30 Welcome9:30-9:45 Welcome speech: Antonella Romano (vice présidente de l’EHESS, chargée des Relations internationales), Anne Kerlan (directrice du Centre d’études sur la Chine moderne et contemporaine)Chairman: Xavier Paulès (EHESS)9:45-10:15: Presentation of PhDStudents10:15-12: WANG Zhenzhong 王振忠 (Professor, Center for Historical Geographical Studies of Fudan University, Shanghai), “Account books in Huizhou.
