Institute of History and Philology

The Institute of History and Philology, established in 1926 in Taiwan, is a research institution under Academia Sinica. It focuses on the study of history, language, and cultural development, primarily related to Chinese civilization and its interactions with other cultures. Researchers at the institute analyze ancient texts, artifacts, and historical records to uncover insights about past societies and their languages. By doing this, they contribute to a deeper understanding of Taiwan's cultural heritage and the broader East Asian historical context, fostering academic knowledge and preserving history for future generations.
