Welcome to ChinaShell !

ChinaShell 是一个致力于中国软体动物学研究的综合性资源平台。网站以系统整理中国软体动物学史为核心，同时提供与历史和现代研究密切相关的辅助信息，包括重要人物资料、历史地名考证以及珍稀文献的数字化呈现。许多文献原本散见于地方志、调查报告、博物馆出版物或难以获取的古早期刊，本平台旨在通过公开整理，使这些资料能够被研究者、学生与爱好者更方便地查阅与引用。

ChinaShell is an integrated resource platform dedicated to the study of Chinese malacology. Its core mission is to systematically document the history of molluscan research in China, while also providing essential contextual information, including biographical entries of key figures, historical place-name analyses, and access to rare public-domain literature. Many of these works were originally scattered across local gazetteers, missionary reports, museum bulletins, or obscure early journals. By making them accessible, ChinaShell aims to support researchers, students, and enthusiasts with reliable and citable materials.

ChinaShell 关注的不仅是物种本身，也关注围绕软体动物研究而形成的知识网络。例如早期中国博物馆、传教士、采集者与欧洲博物学家的合作关系，中国地名在现代标准化之前的异拼、误拼与历史沿革，以及支撑十九至二十世纪研究的重要文本资源。通过汇总这些内容，ChinaShell 希望推动更系统、更可靠、更可追溯的中国软体动物学研究基础建设。

Beyond molluscan taxa themselves, ChinaShell highlights the intellectual networks that shaped Chinese malacology. These include the interactions between early Chinese museums, missionaries, collectors, and European naturalists; the variant spellings, mis-romanisations, and historical evolution of Chinese place-names prior to modern standardisation; and the textual foundations that underpinned research from the nineteenth to early twentieth centuries. By consolidating these resources, ChinaShell seeks to contribute to a more systematic, traceable, and robust foundation for future studies in Chinese malacology.
