Scope and Content of Collection
The collection contains pamphlets, handbooks, railway guides, tourist brochures, and other printed Manchuria-related items,
most issued in Great Britain (extracts from publications by the British Foreign Office, the Royal Geographical Society), Manchuria
or Japan (issued by various departments of the Japanese government or the government of Manchoukuo [Manzhouguo]). The latter
was a nominally independent puppet state set up by the Japanese in Manchuria, which existed from 1931 to 1945. The Japanese
installed Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as the emperor of Manzhouguo and declared the country independent from
China on February 18, 1932.
Related monographs and serials pertaining to Manchuria have been cataloged separately and can be searched on Pegasus, the
