Digitizing the Past, Creating the Future---The Digital Archives Projects of National Taiwan University |
National Taiwan University (NTU) is the oldest research institute devoted to diverse fieldworks and houses one of the most comprehensive records of natural and cultural history in Taiwan. Since 2002, NTU has initiated a digital project to archiving the research heritage in order to preserve and to broaden public access to the legacy holdings. It is a collaborative effort involving a wide variety of content and data types, reflective of the many research specialties in the university. We have created digital contents and databases, from anthropology to zoology, representing the rich cultural and biological diversity of Taiwan. Intensive information technology and resource-sharing information systems have been utilized to achieve interoperability and to bring coherence to the digital preservation services. It not only allows university faculty and students drawing upon the collections to enrich learning and researches but also serves a wider audience. 1. Extensive Digital Collections 2.
