CMW was greatly interested in the history of the Chinese Communist Movement, which was coming to power about the same time as he arrived at Columbia. Thus, he instituted a search of the holdings of the East Asian Library to learn what was available. This resulted in Chinese Sources on the History of the Chinese Communist Movement: an annotated bibliography of materials in the East Asiatic Library of Columbia University. Edited by him, it was reproduced for private distribution by the East Asian Institute as No. 1 in the Institutes series of studies, and sent to scholars and libraries with an interest in modern China. In the summer of 1950 CMW wrote a prospectus for research on the history of the Chinese Communist Movement, outlining questions worthy of research in the light of his then knowledge. This prospectus, 50 pages. With the approval of the Institute's Executive Committee and with modest financing from the Institute's research funds, he organized a research project, hiring as an assistant a brilliant graduate student, Ms. Julie Lien-ying How, beginning in March1951. Both CMW and Ms. How made trips to Washington to do research in the Library of Congress or in the National Archives, and their bibliographic notes are in Box 64. CMW also commissioned Mr. Ichiro Shirato to search Columbia's Japanese collections and those in the Library of Congress for a Bibliography of Japanese Sources on the Chinese Communist Movement. which CMW edited and the Institute published in 1953.
