日內瓦中國國際圖書館是上世紀三十年代中華民國在海外的一個重要文化機構，學界對其籌設歷程、館藏建設、人員結構、辦館宗旨等方面鮮有研究，而已有的成果都拘泥于李石曾、蕭瑜二人的點滴記敘，其中不僅留白待補處頗多，更有眾多謬誤。《東西文化》作為該館首辦的期刊，以法英德三種語言向歐洲公眾介紹中國的歷史與現狀，留存了大量珍貴資料，但今日恐已無人問津。本文利用年譜、日記、報紙、雜誌、檔案、刊一手資料，一點點拼湊出日內瓦中國國際圖書館與《東西文化》的歷史原貌。

The Bibliothèque Sino-Internationale Genève was an important oversea cultural agency established by the government of the Republic of China in the 1930s. However, little research has been done on its history. Furthermore, the current understanding of the library is often based on anecdotal accounts of Li Shizeng and Xiao Yu. Many existing impressions of the library are distorted and incorrect. This study employs firsthand materials including chronicles, diaries, newspapers, and other archival resources to reconstruct the history of the library and its major publication, the Orient et Occident.
