In 1991, The University of Iowa established a program to collect the work of prominent Chinese writers. Printed and manuscript materials were acquired, both by purchase and by gift. Records for published work can be found in the Libraries' bibliographic database, InfoHawk. Manuscript materials are described in this finding aid.

There are two series in this collection: correspondence concerning acquisition of the materials composes Series I. Series II is the manuscripts themselves.

For background, and a history of the early program, see Peter Xinping Zhou, "Chinese Writers in Iowa" (Books at Iowa 58 (April 1993). For an annually updated list of Chinese writers who have visited Iowa in the International Writers Program and whose work is represented in the Iowa collections, see Chinese IWP participants.
