The Tse-tsung Chow (周策縱) Papers provide a broad overview of Prof. Chow’s career and achievements as a renowned scholar, teacher, poet and writer. The Papers contain abundant correspondence from his friends and students, scholars, and different publishers discussing with him on various subject matters such as personal business, research work, poetry, conferences, and other work activities. The majority of the manuscripts of essays and poems as well as photocopies of articles on poetry, Chinese literature and history in the collection were written by Prof. Chow. Some of the Chinese paintings and Chinese calligraphy were given to him by his friends, but the stone seals were carved by him. The overall arrangement of the collection was provided by the archivist, as were the titles of some of the folders. The majority of the original English folder titles and all Chinese folder titles used by Prof. Chow were adopted with minor revision. Correspondence is arranged by the last names of the correspondents or topical sequence. Some incoming and outgoing letters were pulled from their original folders and filed in folders of individual correspondents created by Prof. Chow. Oversize materials including maps and boxes of stone seals and memorabilia were put in OS File. Chinese paintings and Chinese calligraphy were pulled and catalogued. (English)
