8 inch floppy disks. README file from disk 1: These seven disks contain materials taken from the Usenet computer network Soc.Culture.China during June 1989. SCC is said to have had about 30,000 members in the US and other countries, mostly China-born students and intellectuals. The files were downloaded by James D. Seymour. They concern the contemporaneous crackdown in China. Some of the items are media news accounts. Some are personal postings. Although the material varies greatly in quality, they contain much information, and give a feel for the period. These materials are in ASCII, for easy conversion to any word processor. Each filename contains a date, but it should be understood that these are only approximate.
