Fujian Provincial Archives
Fujian Provincial Archives (Chinese: 福建省档案馆), or Archives of Fujian Province, was founded on October 1, 1959. It is a public institution directly subordinate to the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and classified as a national first-class archive. It is situated at 2 Mingde Road, University Town Center, Minhou County, Fuzhou City.[1]
The Archives of Fujian Province contains a substantial and significant collection of records. Numerous historical materials not only mirror the provincial conditions and characteristics of Fujian but also possess considerable national significance. The distinctive political, economic, and geographical position of Fujian Province has imparted a particular local flavor to the archives.[2][3]
