In addition the vendor have included a range of rare printed materials including missionary periodicals, atlases and books which help to contextualize the other sources. This project provides a wide variety of English-language original source material detailing China¹s interaction with the West from Macartney¹s first Embassy to China in 1793, through to the Nixon/Heath visits to China in 1972-74. It provides multiple perspectives ­ from politicians, diplomats, missionaries, business people and tourists, and documents many of the key events that happened in this period.
