| Digital library project |
|
On April 11, 2007, the Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Library of Vietnam in Hanoi to create a digital library of the National Library’s ancient script holdings in Hán and Nôm. This three-year project will open to the world a 4000-item cultural heritage of books, woodblocks, manuscripts, maps, and other materials on paper. This can be considered as an advance in applying high technology in combination between the past and the present. Moreover, it is also a bridge for people to understand more about the culture of our nation through thousand years ago.
