Description

The two graphs provides basic information on the corpus of Pagoda we were able to reconstruct from the archives of Rotary International. Pagoda was the official organ of the Rotary Club of Shanghai. Published every week, it represents a rich source we have on the life of the club, providing information on regular meetings (topic and attendance), meetings of the board of directors and special committees, anedoctes on members, information on other clubs in China, and miscellaneous stories. The tabulated data we used for conducting our analyses is available in the "Tables" section. 

The first graph shows the number of issues available for each year, while the second one shows the number of pages in each issue. Although the existing collection of Pagoda remains incomplete, the thirty-one issues at our disposal are quite regularly distributed over time, with an average of two issues per year between 1919 and 1937, except for the years 1920 and 1932 (two bountiful years with three issues) and four years of scarcity with only one issue available (1921, 1924, 1928, 1937). The number of pages ranges from one in 1919 to fourteen in 1930 and 1934, with an average of ten to twelve.
