A new collection in the former native speaker's collection

劉維瑛, 黃隆正, 六然居資料室, eds. 【現存臺灣民報復刻】. 國立台灣歷史博物館, 2018.

Ended up ordering these books myself because the library never got back to me about them.

The 8-volume set, published by the National Museum of Taiwan History, collects issues of the Taiwan Minbao (or Taiwan Minpao) from its first issue in 1923 to 1927. The paper itself was published under various titles (and in different languages) until 1947. The paper has been used in research on Taiwanese journalism, literature, and history over the years. I want to see what I can get out of it. See you in about 10 years!

[Update: Just took a second look at my title. Wish I could say that I wrote it that way on purpose!]
