國家圖書館中文古籍文獻全球收藏計畫二十五年回顧與展望

National Central Library’s Initiatives in Global Collection for Chinese Rare Books: A 25-Year Review and Future Prospects

國家圖書館之古籍文獻館藏，在世界文明地圖上具有舉足輕重的地位。該館在2000年正式啟動中文古籍聯合目錄資料庫的建置，並於2005年與美國國家圖書館展開第一次的中文古籍數位化計畫，藉古籍聯合目錄與古籍數位化兩項國際合作計畫，逐步實踐中文古籍文獻的全球收藏計畫。本文盤點國家圖書館二十五年來的豐碩成果，同時環視國際上性質相近之古籍數位圖書館計畫，包含美國、中國、日本、韓國等地的中文古籍資源，從圖書館目錄系統與數位圖書館發展趨勢的角度，思考中文古籍文獻全球收藏計畫的未來走向，建議朝中文古籍文獻知識體系系統發展。

The Chinese rare books of National Central Library hold a pivotal position in global civilization. As early as the end of 2000, the library began planning to establish a Union Catalog of Chinese Rare Books database. In 2005, it launched its first Chinese rare books digitization project in collaboration with the Library of Congress in the United States. These two international initiatives—the Union Catalog and the Digitization of Rare Books—have gradually advanced its global collection plan for Chinese Rare Book literature. This paper reviews the significant achievements of the past 25 years while also examining similar international digitization projects, including Chinese rare book resources in the United States, China, Japan, and Korea. From the perspectives of library catalog systems and digital library, the study provides insights of future direction for NCL’s global collection plan for Chinese rare books, and recommends developing a knowledge system of Chinese rare books.
