Books in China
The Books in China Database (BIC) is an open access database of information on 32,387 books and other texts (as of August, 2021) held in 712 school libraries, local government offices, and other sites in the fourteenth to the early-twentieth centuries. The data was extracted from Chinese local gazetteers by Joseph Dennis with support from Chen Shih-Pei and Calvin Yeh using Local Gazetteer Research Tools (LoGaRT) software created by the MPIWG.
