國立故宮博物院圖書文獻處前瞻計畫數位工作區的籌備與建置

Preparation and Establishment of the Digital Studio at Department of Rare Books and Historical Documents for the Forward-looking Program in National Palace Museum

國立故宮博物院(以下簡稱故宮)，擁有近七十萬餘件世界級的藝術文物典藏，更是世界文化遺產。自民國九十一年(2002)推動文物數位典藏國家型計畫以來，經過十幾年努力，由於數量龐大，場地不足，仍無法達成全數數位化的目標，開放提供全民利用線上資源。是以，圖書文獻處以「圖書文獻高解析重點項目數位化子計畫」，爭取行政院前瞻基礎建設計畫預算支應，即是基於上述理念，並以每年至少十萬頁的數位化掃描目標邁進，期能達到提升數位數量，並開放公眾免費使用。該計畫亦是本院前瞻基礎建設計畫中，預算規模最大、運用人力最多的子計畫。自民國一○六年(2017)十一月起，經多次爭取，獲准於故宮圖書文獻大樓四樓設立數位作業室及數位攝影棚。由於數位化計畫之推動，事涉故宮作為文資保存機構之經營管理，本文或可作為後續其他機構未來規劃之參考。

National Palace Museum (NPM) obtains nearly 700,000 world-class extensive art collections which are regarded as international cultural heritages. Ever since 2002, NPM has facilitated Taiwan Digital Archives Program, yet we have not digitized all to open on-line resources to the public after devoting for over a decade. Thus, Department of Rare Books and Historical Documents submitted the“Subordinate Program of Digitalizing Crucial Historical Documents in High Resolutions”to bid for the Executive Yuan’s Forwardlooking Infrastructure Development Program. Based upon the idea above, the department’s main goal was to digitize at least 100,000 pages per year which made the subordinate program spend the most budget as well as hire the biggest number of human resources among the museum. Starting from November 2017, we finally received the permission to build up a digital studio and a photography studio by bidding several times. To facilitate the digitization program, NPM has taken an important role in operation and management as the cultural heritage protection organization. This article can be considered as a case study for the other units’references for their future planning.
