Description
| The China Government Employee Database – Qing Jinshenlu (CGED-Q JSL) is a database constructed by the Lee-Campbell Group from records of officials in the jinshenlu that was prepared every three months during the Qing by the Department of Selection (文選司) under the Ministry of Personnel (吏部). The jinshenlu listed almost every civil office from the central government down to low-level county administrative offices including information about the official’s name, place of origin, ethnicity, location of post, job title, and other details. The China Government Employee Database-Qing (CGED-Q) Jinshenlu 1900-1912 and 1850-1864 Public Releases availabe here are extracts from the CGED-Q JSL The public releases consist of records of Qing government civil servants with regular appointments transcribed from the quarterly editions of the Jinshenlu (缙绅录) from 1900 to 1912 and 1850 to 1864. The data in the public releases are exactly as transcribed from the original sources, and do not include any of the corrections, modifications, or additions we have made for our own analysis. |
