The Cambridge History of China is an ongoing series of books published by Cambridge University Press (CUP) covering the history of China from the Qin dynasty to the 20th century. The series was conceived by British historian Denis C. Twitchett and American historian John K. Fairbank in the late 1960s, and publication began in 1978. The complete History will contain 15 volumes, with volumes 5, 8, and 9 consisting of two books each.
An independent volume, The Cambridge History of Ancient China (1999), edited by Michael Loewe and Edward L. Shaughnessy, complements the series by covering pre-imperial China. Another series, The Cambridge History of Inner Asia, includes coverage of the conquest dynasties and interactions between Chinese dynasties and Inner Asia. The Cambridge History of Chinese Literature is a two-volume set covering literature.
An unauthorized Chinese translation of volume 7 (Ming dynasty, part 1) was made in 1992 by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In this version, the map of the Ming empire in the original was replaced by a more extensive map from the Historical Atlas of China, while the other maps were used unchanged.
The volumes of the series are as follows:
