Renmin Ribao
website
Description Essentially the entire collection of articles, which can be searched using various criteria (date, keywords, etc). Like CAJ, the RMRB search engine also allows searching within results in order to continue narrowing down results through keywords. Keywords are then highlighted within the text of articles found in the search results. In most cases, there's also a PDF link to an image of the actual page from the newspaper at the time, often worth checking out for accompanying photographs, types of articles placed adjacent to another, and in order to gather a broader context for other events or campaigns taking place at the time.

Zhaiyi Database
website
Description From the website: “The Institute of Chinese Studies Heidelberg holds a full run of Zhaiyi (Selected Translations). Because it will not be found in the great collections outside the PRC and is of interest for the study of Chinese literary and cultural interactions with the world at a time when such interactions were at a low ebb, it is made accessible on-line here for scholarly research in a fully searchable version. Zhaiyi was “internally published” by the Shanghai Renmin Chubanshe from late 1973 to the end of 1976. It belonged to a group of journals starting publication in Shanghai around the same time, namely the literary journal Zhaoxia 朝霞 (Morning Dawn), a journal devoted to theoretical questions of science and philosophy, Ziran bianzhengfa 自认辩证法 (Dialectics of Nature), and a journal of political theory and criticism, Xuexi yu pipan 学习与批判 (Study and Critique). These were not marked as “internally published,” but they were all also discontinued shortly after the end of the Cultural Revolution.”
