Dear gucuse:

To mark the beginning of a new year, the Manchu Studies Group has compiled a bibliography of English-language publications in Manchu studies published in 2023. This will hopefully mark the beginning of a new tradition on this website, through which we recognize the amazing range of scholarly work accomplished by the Manchu studies community. Please let us know at [email protected] if we’ve missed something!
