10 The scholars who have made use of this archive and produced publications based on it are too numerous to list here. In 1998, only six years after the archive opened, its director, Professor Huang Hanmin, estimated that it had already been visited and used by “hundreds of Chinese researchers and more than one hundred historians and scholars from Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, Japan, and various European countries.” See Huang Hanmin, “Zhongwai xuezhe juhui guan chuang” (Chinese and foreign scholars gathering at the window), Kuayue buhuo (Shanghai: Shanghai shehui kexue yuan chubanshe, 1996), 40.
