Cataloging government published regulations from Qing China
Project Description
This project aims to create a unified catalog of published regulations from the Qing government. The source of these regulations is titled "上諭條例" and were published annually or seasonally during the Qing. There is a large number of them spanning almost the entirety of the dynasty, but as they have only been scanned but not digitized, it is necessary to create a catalog of the contents of these published materials in order to facilitate efficient use of them for research among scholars.
