The proliferation of databases for the study of Chinese history and the increasing numbers of researchers taking part in their development calls for a cyberinfrastructure. A cyberinfrastructure can be conceived as a network of discipline-specific software applications and data collections and also of the personnel and the set of best practices, standards, and collaborative methods they establish. This paper discusses how participants in such a cyberinfrastructure for historical China studies can share their resources and facilitate their communication with various technologies and mechanisms.
