Dear Map Librarians, I want to share the appreciation sent to me by the student with the question about Wuhan and Hangzhou. Thank you again for all your help! Thank you so much for getting back to me! I'm absolutely blown away by both the resources you've been able to find and the time and effort you and your colleagues have spent to get these resources to me. I genuinely am at a loss for words, and am so very, very appreciative. All of the images and maps that I've been able to go through so far have been very promising and I'm just so excited to go through the rest of them! I have no idea how to express my gratitude for both you and the other librarians, but thank you so very much! All the best, Robin ****************************** Robin Rank Reference and Instruction Librarian Information Services Kalamazoo College Library Kalamazoo, MI 49006 pronouns: she/her/hers What are these?<https://www.mypronouns.org/> email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Visit our Library website<https://library.kzoo.edu/> Our physical building may be closed, and your librarians are here to help.

Ref Q: Maps of Wuhan and Hangzhou, 20th century Dear Map Librarians, Wow! You are the best! Thank you so much to everyone who has shared resources to help with my student’s reference question. I’ve collected them all below, in case they are of interest. Stay safe and well, everyone. Robin University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee: Hi from Milwaukee, WI! The American Geographical Society Library has 1 scanned map of Wuhan from 1986 and about 73 photos of Wuhan from between 1913-1915. Also, we have 2 maps of Hangzhou & around 12 photos from 1931-1932. The photos have all kinds of subject matter - hopefully this is helpful to you and your student!

Hankou was the concession port. Wuchang, across the river, is where the imperial government seat of Hubei province sat. Check out UN photos here, including refugees being sprayed with DDT and bombed out buildings: https://search.archives.un.org/informationobject/browse?mediatypes=136&view=card&sort=alphabetic&sq0=hankow&collection=%2Funited-nations-relief-and-rehabilitation-administration-unrra-1943-1946&onlyMedia=1&topLod=0&rangeType=inclusive<https://search.archives.un.org/informationobject/browse?mediatypes=136&view=card&sort=alphabetic&sq0=hankow&collection=/united-nations-relief-and-rehabilitation-administration-unrra-1943-1946&onlyMedia=1&topLod=0&rangeType=inclusive> (Wuchang was occupied by both the communists and the Japanese during the anti-fascist war. It was also bombed by both the Americans and the Japanese at various times.) Historical Images of China looks like it has updated its metadata with modern place names. 478 images of Wuhan: https://www.hpcbristol.net/search?query=wuhan (This collection had an inordinate number of photographs of white people) Fun fact: Wuchang had China’s first library school. It came with missionary Mary Elizabeth Wood. I think her papers are at Simmons. The Library of Congress: If you’re interested in photos, as well (as Jon suggests)… The Library of Congress’ Prints & Photographs online catalog<https://www.loc.gov/pictures/> has images for these cities he mentions. ****************************** Robin Rank Reference and Instruction Librarian Information Services Kalamazoo College Library Kalamazoo, MI 49006 pronouns: she/her/hers What are these?<https://www.mypronouns.org/> email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Visit our Library website<https://library.kzoo.edu/> Our physical building may be closed, and your librarians are here to help.

Bonus if anyone also has sources for photos the patron describes below: I've really been struggling to find photos and maps of 20th century Hangzhou/Wuhan, and I'm in particular looking for photos that show life during, around, or after disasters. Materials used in building, what kinds of boats people used, whether they had enough cows to plow with, the steps taken against malaria in their living environments, the kinds of plants around, missionary camps... Maps I'll take any you can find! I'm desperate! Thank you very much for any help you can give.
