Abkhazi, Peggy.
45 cm of textual records.
Peggy Abkhazi was born Marjorie Mabel Jane Carter in Shanghai, China. She and her mother returned to England in 1905. Her mother died shortly after and her father died also, leaving her destitute. Acquaintances in Shanghai adopted her. Hereafter, she was known as Peggy Pemberton. They resided in England until her adoptive father died in 1918, after which Peggy traveled extensively with her widowed adoptive mother, during which time she met Nicholas Abkhazi, an exiled Georgian prince, in Paris. Circumstances separated them and she returned to Shanghai with her adoptive mother. Mrs. Pemberton died in 1938, leaving Peggy financially independent. About this time, Peggy changed her name to Pemberton-Carter. She was interned by the Japanese, 1943-1945.

ABMAC was founded in 1937 to give aid to Chinese medical and public health services by working through existing Chinese medical agencies. Between 1937 and 1945 more than ten million dollars in aid was given to China. After World War II, ABMAC concentrated on aiding six national medical colleges by administering a fellowship program for faculty members of these colleges to spend a year of study in the United States, by sending American medical faculty members to the six colleges as visiting professors, and by providing technical assistance in the form of books for medical libraries, text books for the classroom, equipment for laboratories and other educational materials. In 1949 when the Peoples Republic of China was established, ABMAC shifted its aid to Taiwan.

Chinese Oral History Project, 1958-1976.
Description: Transcripts: 17,584 leaves.
In 1958 Professors Franklin L. Ho and C. Martin Wilbur formulated a project within the East Asian Institute of Columbia University to record the oral recollections of prominent Chinese leaders of the Republican era, 1911-49. In the ensuing decades, sixteen outstanding figures have devoted hundreds of hours to compiling oral records of their careers. These have been transcribed, translated, researched, and edited to produce memoirs for use by scholars interested in this half-century of Chinese history. Many are accompanied by private papers. The memoirs represent the lives of men who played major roles in Republican China in such capacities as Acting President, Vice President, Ambassador to the United Nations, Ambassador to the United States and other countries, Minister of Foreign Affairs, commanders in the National Revolutionary Army, mayors of the capitals in World War II, governors of provinces divided by the Sino-Japanese War and by civil war, philosophers and spokesmen for the Literary Revolution, financiers, industrialists, educators, founders of a new political party opposed to and outlawed by both the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang, and activists in the Third Force. Many attended American universities and returned to China bringing modern attitudes to the still traditional society. Their detailed reminiscences help clarify hitherto confused areas of scholarly inquiry: the historian, sociologist, literary historian, economist, and political scientist will find a wealth of material for research. Most of the private papers are in Chinese.

Flying Tigers Project : Oral History, 1962.
At the Flying Tiger reunion at Ojai, California, in 1962, pilots, mechanics, radiomen, administrative, and ground crew personnel reminisced of their experiences with Chennault's American Volunteer Group in Burma and China, and with the China National Aviation Corps, during and after World War II. They detail adventurous days in Rangoon, Toungoo and Kunming, retreating over the Burma Road, flying P-40's against Japanese bombers and Zeros, and operating the Mukden shuttle before the fall of Shanghai in 1949. The natural focus of those days was Claire Chennault, and these men and women recount anecdotes and impressions of him. While informal and unstructured, these interviews provide source material on a thinly documented phase of World War II, and the lore that has grown around it.
