Princeton users now have permanent access to two new archival collections from the East View Archive Editions (formerly Cambridge Archive Editions):
Chinese Soviet Republic
The collection focuses on the Chinese Soviet Republic, the first attempt of establishing a communist state in China (1931 – 1934). It includes original sources such as bulletins, letters, and telegrams, documenting the day-to-day operations of the state and sponsorship from the USSR. This part of the Archive Editions is almost entirely in Chinese.

South China Sea Island Disputes: 1877–1988
This collection consists of archival materials documenting the contested ownership of the three island groups — the Spratly Islands in the central sea, the Paracel Islands in the northwest, and the Scarborough Reef to the northeast — from the earliest days of colonial exploitation and European flag-hoisting in the late 19th century, to armed clashes between the armies of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the People’s Republic of China at the close of the 20th century. The majority of the documents originate from western collections and among them are documents from the claimant governments.
