This Catalog, centered on the National Archives Administration's permanent exhibition, “Archives. Islands: Our Stories” details the curatorial concept, exhibition content, and selected archival images, guiding the public through five major units: “When Will Peace Arrive? Post-1945 Transformations,” “A Mysterious Force from Across the Pacific: American Aid During the Cold War,” “Growing in the Cracks Between Great Powers: The Era of Major Construction,” “The Voices from the Streets Shook the Halls of Power: The Wave of Democratization,” and “Positioning the Islands in the Waves of the World Global Currents: A Colorful Taiwan.” to help citizens understand the turning points and transformations of each era, as well as the stories hidden within the archives. The catalog also includes a general introduction to the Archives, such as a floor plan (detailing the exhibition features and functions), the design concept behind the architecture and public art, and key data on the archives. This is all designed to bring the "National Archives" closer to the public.
