Integrating Chinese Literature Translation Archive Resources in Courses

Faculty who plan to have students use our materials for class assignments should contact us to consult with a Chinese Literature Translation Archive team member. Students who need to use our materials for assignments outside of class visits should be encouraged to visit in person.

If you plan to have all students in your course reference the same primary source for an assignment, please contact us for options, including holding materials for your class and/or providing digital alternatives.
