Joint Catalog of Rare Chinese Books
(NCL Special Collections Department)
The creation and development of bibliographical databases of rare Chinese books is a critical part of cultural preservation work. To this end, exchange and cooperation among Chinese libraries and organizations around the world with collections of Chinese-language publications has become an inevitable trend. In order to facilitate inter-library cooperation and resource sharing in rare Chinese books, the NCL established the 'Joint Catalog Database of Rare Chinese Books in the Taiwan Area' in 1998. It also invited libraries in mainland China and Hong Kong to contribute bibliographic information for the database, resulting in the expansion of the original project into a 'Joint Catalog Database of Rare Chinese Books', currently accessible online at: |
