This page includes a variety of materials which led to the construction of this site, including communications between various individuals who were instrumental in getting the digitalchina/harvard project (including the conference and website) up to speed. Browse these "constitutional" documents at your leisure.... and please take a moment to read Professor Nesson's introduction to the Digital China/Harvard project. One particularly important document which led to the Opium War (both the historical event and the film) and, ultimately, this conference and site, was drafted over 150 years ago: Commissioner Lin's Letter of Advice to Queen Victoria, decrying the evils of Britain's opium trade with China, and demanding its termination. Click here to read that letter.
