Recent Archival Sources of Note
United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS) files
Maochun Yu's 1997 work, The O.S.S. in China, introduced to the academic world the records of America's wartime intelligence agency held at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA--www.archives.gov). The records of field offices can be very useful for researchers interested in areas around OSS stations, particularly Kunming and Chongqing during the war, and Nanjing, Taibei, and Shanghai immediately following Japan's surrender. These files include maps and photographs. Other records include materials from the Research and Analysis Branch, the Secret Intelligence Branch, and the Special Operations Branch. Since publication of Yu's work, almost all of the OSS files have been declassified and made available to the public. Perhaps the most important files still classified are the monthly reports of the controversial Sino-American Cooperation Organization (SACO).

Interagency Working Group (IWG)
One key impetus for recent declassification efforts, particularly for documents related to alleged Japanese war crimes or atrocities, is the Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records IWG. The Group formed out of earlier efforts to recover assets of Holocaust victims (the "Nazi Gold" project). Over 18,000 pages of Japanese war crimes records from agencies such as the War Department, State Department, and OSS have declassified. An additional 60,000 pages are being reviewed for declassification. IWG reports, available through the National Archives and Records Administration website, also provide information on the status and content of captured Japanese records.

Council on Library and Information Resources/Chinese Wartime Monographs Project (1932-1945)
CLIR, in cooperation with Fudan University in Shanghai, have preserved and microfilmed more than 4,000 Chinese-language monographs published between 1932 and 1945. Thanks to the support of the Henry Luce Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the 595 microfilm reels are now available from CLIR. This collection includes wartime materials from every part of China, including Mongolia, Tibet, and Xinjiang.

General Commission on Archives and History of the United Methodist Church
Housed at Drew University in New Jersey, these files related to missionary work around the world. Within China, records on Methodist efforts are divided by region, province, or city. These materials approach the "problem" of Sino-Japanese war with different priorities and goals than are revealed in the files of diplomats or military officers. To missionaries, the war was not simply a harbinger of chaos--it was seen as an opportunity to expand the Church's influence in the context of Japanese brutality and the collapse of the Nationalist state. Most important to scholars are the Missionary Files, materials that often discuss events in great detail at the local level. These documents include letters among missionaries, newsletters, and reports from the field. Since 2000, the files have been available on microfilm through Scholarly Resources--a great convenience for scholars.
