Description

The National Archives (TNA) is seeking expressions of interest from potential partners to digitise and to publish online various predominantly Admiralty and War Office records relating to China from 1839-1945. The contract award would include a commercial licence to publish online digital images and associated metadata, and a requirement to undertake all the necessary activities to make that possible - including conservation, digital image capture, use of metadata to allow for meaningful searches of the records, and online publication. This collection focusses on the nineteenth and twentieth century conflicts which played an important role in modern Chinese history, spanning from the First Opium War in 1839-1842 up to the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1945.
