This directory is a landmark work of scholarship, uncovering an extraordinary amount of detail on the diverse foreign community of old Shanghai, from the 1840s, when it was established as a foreign treaty port, to and beyond the Communist victory in 1949. Information is included on more than 2,000 foreign and Chinese clubs, societies and associations, along with many thousands of named individuals, providing a unique resource for the study of old Shanghai, and an invaluable insight into a vitally important and much-neglected part of China's modern history.
