古籍資料的合作館藏維護--日本經驗的借鏡

「合作館藏維護」(cooperative preservation project)在美日等先進國家已行之有年，此種計畫可以幫助典藏有需要加以維護保存的古籍資料之機構，有計畫的循標準規格將資料儲存於另一種媒體，裨益文化資產的保存與資源分享。本文首先闡述「合作館藏維護」的必要性，接著列舉整理善本古籍的工作範疇，簡介中文古籍的典藏概要，回顧海峽兩岸至目前為止有關中文古籍的合作議題，然後透過對日本國文學研究資料館事業的瞭解，提出海峽兩岸合作維護中文古籍之建議。論文中並就如何篩選資料以進行維護工作、資料類型轉換以何種方式進行較為穩當等，提出說明和建議。最後並對「合作館藏維護」之試金石─「國家典藏數位計畫」提出建議，也呼籲圖書館同業積極參與，以及政府大力支持此種計畫。
