Historical Note
The KMT formally established the CRC on August 5, 1950, to explore ways to revitalize the party. The CRC, with 16 members,
replaced the former Central Executive Committee and the Central Supervisory Committee, which had 50 and 223 members, respectively
and became the party's main executive and policy planner body. It had four subcommittees in the areas of cadre training, discipline,
finance, and party history. Seven functional sections handled party affairs in Taiwan and mainland China; industrial, professional,
youth, and other special party branches; overseas party affairs; propaganda; political activities for KMT members of the government
and liaison with friendly parties; collection of information on society and economy and planning of strategies to deal with
the enemy; and party-run enterprises and the economic well-being of party members.
During its two years of existence regular party organs were suspended and their activities were transferred to the CRC. Among
other activities, the CRC and its successor drafted a new party platform, studied organizational changes, issued a directive
on recruiting new members, and published procedures for cadres working with various mass organizations. It also published
Gaizao [
Reform], the official organ of the KMT from 1950 to 1952. The committee's recommendations were adopted by the Seventh National Party
Congress in October 1952.

Wu Zhihui Archive
1894-1952
Physical Description: 161 microfilm reels
Historical Note
Wu Zhihui (1865-1953) has been described as a satirist, anarchist, philologist, and educator who went on to help found the
Chinese Nationalist Party and the Republic of China. Wu was traditionally educated in the Chinese classics. After unsuccessful
attempts to reach the top of the Qing dynasty's civil service examination system, Wu became influenced by radical thought
and studied overseas in Japan, England, and France. His acquaintance with Sun Yat-sen in London eventually led him to the
revolutionary movement. Wu is also known for promoting the standardization and phoneticization of the Chinese language by
developing the "Symbols for Annotated Sounds" (
zhuyin fu hao) system, a phonetic system similar to Japanese
kana that uses symbols to transcribe Mandarin Chinese. Widely used in Taiwan, it can be used to enter Chinese characters on cell
phones and computers. Having held such official positions as minister of education, Wu was viewed as an elder statesman and
close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek by many members of the Nationalist Kuomintang in his later years.
Scope and Content Note
The papers contain correspondence, speeches and writings, memoranda, reports, photographs, and other materials relating to
political, social, and economic conditions in China and Taiwan in the early twentieth century.

1935-1945
Physical Description: 6 microfilm reels
Historical Note
In 1934, Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, Soong Meiling, heralded the New Life Movement that would revitalize the Chinese national
spirit. Influenced by one of Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People (i.e., the principle of welfare,
minsheng zhuyi), the movement was based on traditional Confucian social ethics and promulgated ideals such as self-cultivation and correct
living and discouraged the "Western" concept of individualism. Gambling, opium smoking, dancing, public displays of affection,
and other activities viewed as root causes of poverty and moral degeneration were strictly forbidden.
Scope and Content Note
The records are chiefly made up of publications from provincial Women's Working Committees, promotional associations, and
other organizations directed by Madame Chiang and sponsored by the New Life Movement. The publications cover a wide range
of topics, including cooking, personal hygiene, and behavior.
