On the Research Value of

Music Resources in Taiwan Daily News:
An Analysis of Materials from the Meiji Era
Chen Szu-wei
Postdoctoral Fellow/Adjunct Assistant Professor
Graduate Institute of Musicology
National Taiwan University

Abstract: With continuous issuance that covers a wide time span, news
papers and periodicals are not only documents of historical events, but
also valuable for the study of history and social change. Although there has
recently been an increasing academic interest in musical events in Japa
nese colonial Taiwan, a newspaper database about music is still desirable.
The only existing database of similar nature is Operatic Resources in News
papers during the Japanese Colonial Period in Taiwan, compiled by Hs
Ya-hsiang from a variety of newspapers printed in the Chinese language. In
order to compile all the texts and images about music in Taiwan Daily
News, the longest running newspaper with the highest circulation pub
lished during almost the entire colonial period, in summer 2008 the
Graduate Institute of Musicology at the National Taiwan University under
took to construct the database Music Resources in Taiwan Daily News.
This construction project has presently collected 26,370 clippings
from Taiwan Daily News issued between 1898~1911 of the Meiji era. The
news clippings indicate that Taiwan Daily News covers a wide range of
musical activities of different ethnic groups in Taiwan, together with
issues on musical exchanges within East Asia and on performance and dis
semination of Western music in this region. In addition to musical materi
als, this newspaper encompasses those associated with a diversity of per
forming arts, social culture and new media such as gramophone records
and cinema in the first half of the twentieth century. As more clippings
from Taisho and Showa eras wi l l be added to complete the Music
Resources in Taiwan Daily News in due course, an abundance of multi

209

faceted historical materials will be available for the study of music and
socio-cultural history.

Key words: music history of Taiwan, historical musical materials, Taiwan

Daily News, Japanese colonial period, database construction.
