The following table provides the classification of services that was in practice at the Shanghai Rotary Club between 1930-1948. The list is drawn for three successive rosters published in 1930, 1940 and 1948.
The first sheet contains the official list in 1940 (I have isolated this year because the 1940 roster dedicated a specific section to the classification); the second sheet compiles the classifications for the three successive years ; the third sheet contains a simplified version of this classification, reduced to 20 broad categories for analytical purposes. This simplified typology facilitates comparisons, helps to identify long-term patterns and to track changes over time. The third sheet includes the correspondence table between the original classification and my own simplified typology. The last sheet contains the key to headers.
