International Conference on Sinological Resources in the Digital Era

一、會議緣起 Background

二十一世紀，網際網路(Internet)的普及縮短了各國之間的距離，促進了知識的快速傳布，資訊處理的數位化更有助於各圖書館和資料單位將其館藏資源彼此分享。目前世界各國典藏漢學資料的圖書館大都積極進行數位化工作，且已有具體的成果。為便各國之間對已數位化的漢學資源交流經驗，分享成果，漢學研究中心與國家圖書館特籌辦「數位時代漢學研究資源國際研討會」。

本次會議的主旨在於呈現台灣及世界各國漢學研究資源數位化的成果，藉以互相觀摩，謀求圖書館之間能夠合作共享，並提供學界廣為利用。

臺灣方面，國科會近年來積極推動國家型數位典藏計畫，參與的機構包括：中央研究院、國立故宮博物院、國家圖書館、國立臺灣大學、國立歷史博物館、國史館、國史館臺灣文獻館、國立自然科學博物館等單位，涵蓋層面十分廣泛。前述數位化的內容相當多元豐富，其中善本古籍、期刊、報紙、檔案與博物館藏品的若干典藏，都與漢學研究有密切關係。除此國家型數位典藏計畫外，許多研究機構、圖書館，甚或個別學者，也都陸續建置各種漢學相關的網站、資料庫和網路教學課程等。藉由此次會議的召開，亦將可呈現臺灣在漢學資源數位化的各項成果。

在國際上，大多數的漢學研究機構都已建立了網站，美加、歐洲、亞洲與大陸地區著名的學術圖書館，亦紛紛針對其所典藏豐富的漢學資源，進行數位化的組織整理，以方便學者利用，促進學術研究的進展。這次研討會，我們邀請世界各國家地區漢學資源數位化成效斐然的代表，將其數位化的經驗與成果呈現於研討會，俾學界了解國際間的最新發展。

透過本次會議的召開，將促使世界主要漢學資源典藏機構間的資訊得以更廣泛的交流、各圖書館等資料單位之間亦可以順利的互通有無，進而擴大漢學資源的有效運用，俾益漢學研究的發展。

The rapid spread of the Internet has greatly reduced the difficulties presented by physical distance, making it increasingly easy for libraries and archives to share their holdings digitally. Most institutions that collect Sinological materials are engaged in digitalization programs in some form and many have already produced substantial results. As a response to these developments, the Center for Chinese Studies and the National Central Library will host an international conference in order to facilitate exchange between institutions engaged in the digitalization of Sinological materials.

The primary goal of this conference is to showcase the results of digitalization projects in Taiwan and elsewhere in the world. We hope in this way to promote cooperation between libraries with an eye to making their holdings more widely available to the international community of scholars.

Taiwan has produced considerable results in the digitalization of Sinological materials. Many of these results are now being coordinated by a national program funded by the National Science Council. The program was established to facilitate the digitalization of archival material at a number of institutions, including Academia Sinica, the National Palace Museum, the National Central Library, National Taiwan University, the National Museum of History, Academia Historica, Taiwan Historica and the National Museum of Natural Science. These projects involve a wide range of materials, including rare texts, periodicals, newspapers, historical files, and museum collections closely related to the field of Sinology. In addition to this national-level program, many individual research institutions, libraries and scholars have completed work on websites, databases and Internet-based teaching materials related to Sinology.

Internationally, a large number of research organizations involved with Chinese studies have already established websites, while leading libraries in North America, Europe and Asia have embarked on programs to digitalize their Sinological collections. For this conference, we have invited representatives from some of the most outstanding programs to share their experiences and results so that scholars in Taiwan can keep abreast of the latest developments in the field. Naturally, the conference will also help participants to achieve a better understanding of digitalization programs here in Taiwan as well.

It is our hope that by informing potential users of what materials are already available and helping libraries and other organizations target areas where digitalization efforts have lagged, we will be able to promote the effective use of research materials in the field of Sinology.
