这些年,笔者读到一些西方人特别是美国学者撰写的有关上海近代史的学术专著,几乎没有不使用美国所藏的上海公共租界工部局警务处(巡捕房)档案(ShanghaiMunicipalPoliceFiles)的,这令主要从事旧上海外侨史研究的笔者及其他中国学者十分羡慕。毫无疑问,该档案的内容及史料价值,是从事上海近代史研究的学者们热切盼知的。几年前,笔者在日本爱知大学,见到了该档案的缩微胶卷,只记得当时的心情既激动又感慨,激动的是夙愿得偿,感慨的是看美国所藏有关上海的档案胶卷,竟然是在日本,而不是在美国、上海或北京。
In these years, I have read some academic monographs written by Westerners, especially American scholars, on the modern history of Shanghai. They have hardly used the U.S. Department of Police’s (Shanghai Municipality Public Security Bureau) files of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau The author and other Chinese scholars who mainly engaged in the study of the history of the old Shanghai’s overseas Chinese are very envious of it. Undoubtedly, the contents of the archives and the historical value are eagerly awaited by scholars working in Shanghai’s modern history. A few years ago, I was in Japan’s Aichi University, saw the microfilm of the file, just remember the mood was both excited and emotionally excited is willing to get compensation, feeling is to look at the United States possession of the Shanghai film archive, It is in Japan, not in America, Shanghai or Beijing.
