As Consultant

When I was a consultant for the UBC Library, I catalogued and appraised a donation of Chinese materials from the Pang Jingtang Collection to UBC. I also worked through part of the collection in the Asian Library to uncover, authenticate, and catalogue “hidden” items, including rare books, manuscripts, maps, rubbings, paintings, and calligraphic works that had been left unnoticed in the open stacks.

Selected works:

• Jiuzhou fenye yutu gujin renwu shiji 九州分野輿圖古今人物事跡 (Cosmological Map of the Nine Regions [of China], Noting Celebrities and Cultural Remains Past and Present)
• Wu shi xiaocao 蕪史小艸 (A Short Draft of the Miscellaneous History)
• Shi Chen xiang Kongmiao bei taben 史晨饗孔廟碑拓本 ([The Stele for the Sacrifice to the Confucius Temple by Shi Chen, Rubbing])
• Song shike Jingang jing taben 宋石刻金剛經拓本 ([Rubbing of the Song Inscription of the Diamond Sutra])
• Tang Daya ji Youjun shu Wu Jiangjun bei 唐大雅集右軍書吳將軍碑 (The Stele for General Wu with Calligraphy by Daya of the Tang in Wang Xizhi’s Style, Rubbing)
• Xu Zhangshi jiuguan tanbei taben canye 許長史舊館壇碑拓本殘葉 ([A Rubbing of the Stele for Administrator Xu’s Site Altar, Fragments])
• Liu Wenzheng gong shouzha xingshu ershi ye 劉文正公手札行書二十頁 (Personal Letters from Liu Tongxun in running style, twenty sheets)
