Abstract |
This article introduces the content and characteristics of Yeh Rung-chung Digital Archive built by the University Library of National Tsing Hua University.
Mr. Yeh Rung-chung experienced critical periods of Taiwan history and had participated in most of the important cultural and political events of his time from 1900 to 1978. With a strong sense of history, Mr. Yeh had preserved and collected a large amount of materials with wide diversities, reflecting the cultural, social, and political phenomena of different periods of Taiwan. In the project of building Yeh Rung-chung Digital Archive, we have adopted various strategies and measures to reveal and cherish the values of this precious collection.
In this paper, we discuss accomplishments of "Yeh Rung-chung Digital Archive". In addition to its technological, educational and academic utilities, we suggest that Yeh Rung-chung Digital Archive also serves as a good example for digital archiving of private/personal collections for the general public in this digital era.
