*[https://library.uoregon.edu/ec/e-asia/read/shanghaicops.pdf Guide to the Scholarly Resources Microfilm Edition of the Shanghai Municipal Police Files 1894-1949] library.uoregon.edu
:The SMP files represent a large portion of the archives of the British-run municipal police force based in Shanghai's former International Settlement. This force was established shortly after the formation in 1854 of the settlement's presiding body, the Shanghai Municipal Council. The files are, for the most part, the records of the SMP Special Branch, which investigated and reported on alleged subversive activities and maintained peace and stability in the International Settlement. The time period covered by the SMP files extends from 1894 to 1949, The collection is housed [at the time of the guide] in the Military Archives Division of the National Archives, Washington, DC.
