由英国Adam Matthew Publications（AMP）公司出版的\"China: Trade, Politics and Culture, 1793-1980\"数据库，向读者提供了1793－1980年间中国与西方往来的珍贵史料，这些史料清晰，易于理解而又内容丰富，可以充分地运用于中国近代史的研究与教学。同时，对于独立的研究项目来说也十分理想，充分地反映了两个世纪以来，中国不可磨灭的社会与政治变化的方方面面，这些变化从根本上使中国成为一个现代化强国。
这些资料包括了大量的包含有不同人物、场景、风俗与事件的地图，彩色绘画，照片与画稿；包括了中国海关史上主要人物的重要文件，从ECM Bowra和CAV Bowra到赫德（Robert Hart）与梅乐和（Frederick Maze）；主要外交使团到中国的档案，从马嘎尔尼（Macartney）与阿姆赫斯特（Amherst）到尼克松与赫斯等；在中国所有地区的外国传教团文件，如广东、澳门、上海与北京等；\"Chinese Recorder,1867-1941\"与\"Light and Life, 1935-1970\"，并可对它们进行完整全面的检索；以及英国国家档案馆馆藏的20世纪70年代与中国关系解冻的最新解密文件，等等。
数据库的资料来源于伦敦大学亚非学院，大英图书馆，英国国家档案馆与新西兰国家图书馆。AMP公司邀请了以下专家作为数据库的编辑顾问：Robert Bickers，英国布里斯托大学副校长，历史系教授；Richard Horowitz, 加利福尼亚州大学历史系教授；Man Kong Timothy Wong，香港浸会大学历史系教授。

详细介绍：
China: Trade, Politics and Culture, 1793-1980
This project answers the need for clear, intelligible and informative English-language sources relating to China and the West, 1793-1980, which can be used in the classroom or In course packs.
It is also ideal for independent projects on almost any aspect of Chinese history during the two centuries of monumental social and political upheaval that ultimately recreated China into a modern power. It comprises:
A large body of maps, colour paintings, photographs and drawings depicting people, places, customs and events that will enliven any study of China.
Substantial papers of key individuals involved in the Chinese Maritime Customs service from ECM and CAV Bowra to Robert Hart and Frederick Maze.
Records of major diplomatic missions to China ranging from the late 18th and early 19th century missions of Macartney and Amherst to those of Nixon and Heath in the 20th century.
Papers of missionaries active in all regions of China from Canton and Macao to Shanghai and Peking.
Complete, fully searchable runs of the Chinese Recorder, 1867-1941, and Light and Life, 1935-1970.
Recently opened files from the National Archives at Kew relating to the thawing of relations with China in the 1970s.

The founding of Singapore

the Taiping Rebellion
Missions in China, 1869-1970
