Konrad M. Lawson<p>Someone managed to get a call for freedom of speech and assembly (but with unlikely claim that Wang Jingwei was on board) into front page of the 30 March, 1945 (!!) issue of Shenbao in Japanese-occupied Shanghai. In article calling for following Sun Yat-sen’s legacy. <a href="https://baokan.pages.dev/shenbao/1945/1945%20-%2089%20-%204925499?view=view-hsplit" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">baokan.pages.dev/shenbao/1945/</span><span class="invisible">1945%20-%2089%20-%204925499?view=view-hsplit</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>histodons</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>china</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/primarysources" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>primarysources</span></a></p>

Konrad M. Lawson<p>Scanned and posted another issue of the Hong Kong magazine 家庭與婦女 (Aug, 1964) to IA. Several pieces on Singapore/Malaysia are a reminder that a significant proportion of their readership was there (the issue originally found in Singapore). <a href="https://archive.org/details/jiating-yu-funv-1964.8.25-n-65" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/jiating-yu</span><span class="invisible">-funv-1964.8.25-n-65</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>china</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/hongkong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hongkong</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/primarysources" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>primarysources</span></a></p>

Konrad M. Lawson<p>I picked up some old magazines during my last trip to Singapore. I've scanned this 1957 issue of the Hong Kong magazine 好家庭 and posted it to Internet Archive. I have more I'll post, as IA is recovering from recent attacks and upgrades but still a bit slow. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>china</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/primarysources" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>primarysources</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/hao-jiating-1957.2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/hao-jiatin</span><span class="invisible">g-1957.2</span></a></p>
Konrad M.

Konrad M.

Konrad M.

Konrad M. Lawson<p>1/2 My mother recieved a small collection of 1920s and 1930s issues of the Danish women's weekly magazine Hjemmet ("The Home") from a (Norwegian) relative. Founded in 1904, a year before Norway's independence, a magazine of the same name is still a popular magazine in Norway too today. Would be interesting to see how similar these Danish versions are to the Norwegian Hjemmet, apparently founded in 1911. </p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>histodons</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/primarysources" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>primarysources</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/denmark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>denmark</span></a></p>
