Chinese Local Gazetteers @ Pitt: Searching and Access

This guide aims to help readers access and use Chinese local gazetteers through Pitt's East Asian Library (EAL is located on the second floor of Hillman Library).

CCVG-Data 数字村庄

CCVG Data project. Contemporary Chinese Village Gazetteer Data (CCVG Data 数字村庄) project was initiated by the East Asian Library (EAL) within the University of Pittsburgh Library System (ULS). The project aims to promote the unique and sizeable collection of Chinese village gazetteers held by the library, to offer researchers and scholars access to a unique set of data extracted from selected gazetteers, and to support teaching, research, and reference services around it. This project received initial funding from the University of Pittsburgh Chancellor’s Office as well as support from the Asian Studies Center (ASC) and the University Center for International Studies (UCIS).
