This project by the University of Pittsburgh about memories of the Cultural Revoution should be of interest to PRC historians and probably a good teaching resource for all of us.

New Issue of The PRC History Review, Vol. 2, No. 4 (October 2017)
We are very pleased to announce that the latest issue of The PRC History Review is now available. Tani Barlow’s essay “Jiang Qing, Seriously” is the inaugural issue of a new series, “Provocations,” which offers a glimpse at in-progress research that pushes us to reconsider assumptions and established views in the field.
We hope H-PRC subscribers will contribute to this new series: we invite submissions of think-pieces, teasers for upcoming publications, and insights from ongoing research.

Re: Foreign Ministry Archives open again?
From personal knowledge: The central government issued a "no visit or use" order to ALL archives because of the Russian government attempt to open all Russian files for inspection.

Re: Foreign Ministry Archives open again?
Hi Jon,
The Wilson Center posted an update from Ph.D. candidate Kazushi Minami just two days ago:
"China’s Foreign Ministry Archive: Open or Closed?"
https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/chinas-foreign-ministry-archive-o...
The short answer seems to be that it hasn't changed for the better, requiring a bit more effort to see documents than it did several years ago and offering many fewer, but it is still technically "open."
All best,
Amanda
Re: Foreign Ministry Archives open again?
The situation remains the same at least until mid-July this year. I did not try to go myself but heard that from Chinese scholars. I am not sure if things have changed since.

In short: not good!

Re: Foreign Ministry Archives open again?
Hello everyone,
Does anyone have an update on access to the Chinese Foreign Ministry Archive and does the current situation still match the information Chuck was given (above)?
Thanks,
Jon Howlett
