The Pacific Rim Archive features archival materials related to America's first century of involvement in and impressions of East Asia, broadly defined as the period from 1840 to 1940. Housed at the University of Southern California Digital Library, the five subcollections here include the Mark L. Moody Collection and the Saidee Pettus Hoose Collection. The Moody Collection contains the most items, featuring hundreds of photographs from around China in the 1920s and 1930s, including many images of Shanghai. As Moody owned a car dealership there, it's not surprising that many of the photos here are of cars, along with motor and gas stations. Additionally, users can browse suggested topics, such as "Marines,” "Chrysler,” and "Trains.”
