School background

In the spring of 1997, Ren Yanshen, then director of the school board, first put forward the motion. Mr. Taniguchi Keitaro, a consultant of Nagoya Railway Co., Ltd., who studied in Peking University in his youth, actively advocated the motion, and dozens of enterprises, such as Dentsu Co., Ltd., responded positively and set up a fund-raising sponsor Association in Japan. Although it was a time when Japan's economy was in recession, the fund-raising sponsors overcame many difficulties and won the active support of Japanese business circles. In just one year, they raised 277500000 yen, far exceeding the expected plan. In May 1998, on the occasion of the centennial of the founding of Peking University, the foundation of the History Museum of Peking University was laid and completed after three years of construction.

Based on the principle of respecting history, the museum vividly reproduces the magnificent development history of Peking University, displays 217 historical celebrities of Peking University in the past 100 years, and provides conditions for the study of school history and the collection and collection of historical relics. Jiang Zemin, then president of the people's Republic of China, personally inscribed the name of the History Museum of Peking University.

Peking University Archives, formerly known as Peking University Archives, was built in November 1958 as an internal organization of the Party Committee Office of Peking University. In December 1982, the comprehensive archives of Peking University was established as a department level system, and in April 1993, it was renamed Peking University Archives. In 1999, Peking University carried out the reform of management system, and the archives became an institution directly under the University. It is not only the functional management department of the University's archives work, but also a scientific and cultural institution that permanently preserves and provides the use of the University's archives. It has three offices: collection and guidance, management and utilization, and technical compilation and research. The archives of Peking University is rich in archives, including Peking University, southwest United University, Peking University, Peking University, and Yanjing University in the Japanese occupied area. It is divided into ten categories: Party and government, student status, scientific research, infrastructure, publishing, accounting, audio-visual, characters, objects, and deceased persons, with a shelf length of 1900 meters. These archives reflect the course of Peking University's establishment, change, development and construction in more than 100 years, some of which are extremely precious. Peking University Archives is located near the west gate, south of the office building. There is an archives reading room on the first floor to provide archives inquiry service.
