Abstract

The article presents information on "Chinese Paper Gods," an Internet resource from Columbia University Libraries. Part of the C.V. Starr East Asian Library, the online visual catalog includes images of woodcuts used in folk religious practices in Beijing and other areas in China during the 1930s. The university's collection was assembled by Christian missionary Anne S. Goodrich and donated to the Columbia in 1991. The website, created by Columbia University Digital Knowledge Ventures, is part of the Starr Library's initiative to digitize its holdings. Information on the website address and the organization of the images is included.
