Shanghai in Images is the fruit of a collaboration between the Institute of East Asian Studies (Lyon 2 University - Lyon 3 University - CNRS), the Center for Chinese Studies (University of California, Berkley) and ECAI (Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative). This database has as its vocation to put forward a history of this great Chinese metropolis through photographs.

Although centered on Shanghai, the project is engaged in a constant process of enrichment and enlargement, notably by extension to include large Chinese cities and more diverse aspects of life in China before 1949.
