Today we welcomed six visiting Research Fellows from the Second Historical Archives of China (SHAC), located in Nanjing. The Burke Library archivist Ruth Tonkiss Cameron welcomed them to the Burke and gave a short tour of the facility. After that, the Fellows viewed and researched from a number of collections in MRL6 (China) including Miner Searle Bates Papers, 1927-1984; (John) Horton Daniels and Helen Daniels Papers, 1919-1956; and Matilda Calder Thurston Papers, 1902-1956. Ruth and the Luce project archivist, Brigette C. Kamsler, we were available for questions. Although their time at The Burke Library was short, everyone had a wonderful and information time!
