The digital landscape of Chinese studies has witnessed a remarkable surge in recent decades, with a multitude of resources becoming available. However, many of these valuable resources, particularly those developed by individual scholars, remain relatively unknown to the broader research community. Recognizing the need for centralized access and discovery, the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies proposes the development of a comprehensive directory for digital resources of Chinese studies.

Digital China Worldwide aims to serve as a vital platform, catering to the needs of scholars, researchers, and students by offering a centralized repository of diverse digital resources. The directory will encompass a wide range of valuable resources related to Chinese studies, from databases and datasets to online archives, digitalized academic journals and research papers, and multimedia materials.
