a 100-year celebration of the Wuchang uprising and used nearly 75 of the photographs of Francis Stafford. In 2010, the University of Washington Press published a book by China historian Hanchao Lu entitled The Birth of a Republic: Francis Stafford’s Photographs of China’s 1911 Revolution and Beyond. This volume used over 150 of the photographs from the Collection, describing each one in its historical context. The book is intended for an academic audience. Between 2001 and 2012, permission was given to roughly 25 film, book, magazine article, and newspaper projects to use a few of the images from the Collection. For example, the magazine History Today published an article featuring Stafford's photos and his life story on September 27, 2011. Transfer to Stanford's Hoover Institution in 2012 Stafford's entire collection of photographs was donated in April 2012 to the Hoover Institution Library and Archives at Stanford University. The donation was made by grandson Ronald Anderson, on behalf of all the Stafford grandchildren, including Robert Stafford, Barbara Landers, Merlin G. Anderson, Rosalie M. Lynn and James S. Anderson. The Hoover Institution Library and Archives will maintain the Francis E. Stafford collection of photographs, correspondence, and other historical materials, and will arrange for some of the images to be placed in a forthcoming campus exhibition and on their website among their China collections and managed by Lisa Nguyen, Curator of East Asia Collections.
