After the establishment of Academia Sinica in June 1928, various research institutes were successively established according to disciplines. By the time of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, physics, chemistry, engineering, geology, astronomy, meteorology, history and language, psychology, and social sciences had been established And 10 research institutes of animals and plants. Three research institutes of physics, chemistry, and engineering are located in Shanghai, and the rest are located in Nanjing, with a head office in the old Legal Affairs Bureau on Chengxian Street, Nanjing (after the completion of the new location of Arctic Pavilion , the office moved to the new location).
