wanfang data logoFollowing a successful trial on the Wanfangdata platform, we now subscribe to China Local Gazetteers and China Economic Statistics.

China Local Gazetteers is a collection of Chinese local gazetteers published after 1949, covering all regions of China. There are over 26,400 volumes of e-books included in this database which contain a range of information covering various aspects of local economic, social and political life.

China Economic Statistics offers time-series records on macro-economic data, industry and sector data, regional data with over 10,000 economic indicators.

ARAS: The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism – New E-Resource

Leave a reply

logoFollowing a successful trial, we now subscribe to ARAS: The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism.

The ARAS archive contains about 17,000 photographic images, each cross-indexed, and accompanied by scholarly commentary. The commentary includes a description of the image with a cultural history that serves to place it in its unique historical and geographical setting. Often it also includes an archetypal commentary that brings the image into focus for its modern psychological and symbolic meaning, as well as a bibliography for related reading and a glossary of technical terms.

This online resource will be of particular interest to students and staff of Edinburgh College of Art, and the Schools of History, Classics and Archaeology, and Literature, Languages and Culture.  It has been added to our database A-Z list, several subject A-Z lists, our catalogue and Searcher.  Further information about our databases can be found at http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/information-services/library-museum-gallery/finding-resources/library-databases.
