The China Historical Christian Database<\/strong>\u00a0(CHCD)<\/strong><\/a> quantifies and visualizes the place of Christianity in modern China (1550-1950)<\/strong>. It provides users the tools to discover where<\/span> every Christian church, school, hospital, orphanage, publishing house, and the like were located in China<\/strong>, and it documents who<\/span> worked inside those buildings, both foreign and Chinese<\/strong>. Collectively, this information creates spatial maps<\/strong><\/span> and generates relational networks<\/strong><\/span> that reveal where, when, and how Western ideas, technologies, and practices entered China. Simultaneously, it uncovers how and through whom Chinese ideas, technologies, and practices were conveyed to the West.<\/p>\n

This project breaks new ground in providing quantifiable data about modern Sino-Western relations. Its intuitive interface<\/strong> generates visualizations, lists, and maps<\/strong> for use by the general public, students and teachers in secondary education and colleges, in the US and globally, with English and Chinese navigation<\/strong>. Advanced DH users have open access to its data for elaboration<\/strong>. BU\u2019s digital infrastructure guarantees long-term sustainability, and CHCD\u2019s international collaborations in the USA, Asia, and Europe help promote historical understanding between China and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
