| description | The Xujiahui Library was begun in 1847 as a part of the Jesuit mission complex at the village of Xujiahui outside of Shanghai and grew over the next one hundred years to become a scholarly repository of over 200,000 volumes. It was known for its local gazetteers of China; long, complete runs of newspapers; reference books; and mission-related writings in Chinese and European languages. The advent of the People's Republic of China brought an end to the Jesuit Xujiahui mission, but its legacy continues in various forms. One of these is the Xujiahui Library, which since 1957 has been part of the Shanghai Library. |
