A Study of Qing Archival System

在这三年里，我从两个方面考察了清朝的档案制度。一是东方图书馆东洋文库所藏红旗边办档案文献研究。由于我调查了一些边红旗办事处的内部文件，我编制了一本1875年至1908年的边界红旗档案--关墟文件目录。第二次、我对台湾和欧美的清代文件进行了调查。这些文件保存在梵蒂冈图书馆、梵蒂冈耶稣会档案馆、哈巴罗夫斯克市档案馆、布拉戈维申斯克的阿穆尔地区地方博物馆、布拉戈维申斯克师范大学博物馆、哈佛大学图书馆和台湾中央研究院历史与语言研究所。尤其是在梵蒂冈，我在一本18世纪耶稣会传教的记录中发现了一些清朝官员的满文文件。此外，我还发现了一些1626-1643年间的旧满族档案，通过对这三年的研究，对清代档案制度，特别是旗府内的文件制度有了具体的了解。这项研究的一大成果是发现了一些保存在梵蒂冈耶稣会档案馆和其他档案馆的未知文件。

In these three years, I examined the archival system of the Qing dynasty by two ways. The first is a study for the archival documents of the Bordered Red Banner Office which the Toyo Bunko, the Oriental Library possesses. Since I investigated some inside documents of the Bordered Red Banner Office, I prepared a Catalogue of the Bordered Red Banner Archives, Guanxu Documents, 1875-1908.The Second、 I carried out investigation of the Qing documents in Taiwan, Europe and America. It were the documents possessed in Vatican library, Jesuit Archives at Vatican, Khabarovsk City Archives, Amur Region Local Museum at Blagoveshchensk, Museum of Blagoveshchensk Normal University, Harvard University library, and the Institute for the History and Linguistic of Academia Sinica in Taiwan. In Vatican in particular, I discovered some Manchu documents of a Qing officer in a record of Jesuit Mission in the 18th century. And also, I found some old Manchu archives dated on the period of Taidzong, Hongtaiji reign 1626-1643.By the research for these three years, the Qing Archival system, especially the documental system inside Banner office became clear concretely. It is one of the big results of this study to have discovered some unknown documents kept at the Jesuit Archives at Vatican and other archives.
