THE KUOMINTANG PROJECT

About Project 合作計畫簡介

ZHONGGUO GUO MIN DANG RECORDS, 1894-1957
(KMT RECORDS)

As the longest-enduring political party in Asia, the Kuomintang (KMT) was China's premier revolutionary party until it was defeated in 1949 by Chinese Communist Party forces and forced to relocate in Taiwan.

Since 2003 the Hoover Institution has been working with the KMT, or Nationalist Party of the Republic of China, to preserve the historical records held in the party's archives in Taipei. The official party records are being microfilmed in Taipei, with a use copy of the microfilm deposited at the Hoover Institution.

Several series of microfilmed records are open at the Hoover Archives. This searchable database guides researchers to relevant files on the microfilm. As more collections are microfilmed and received by the Hoover Archives, information describing them will be added to this database.
