Kyoto University Library Tour
Capacity : 30 participants
- 16:10-16:25 Short lecture
Title : “Digital archive at the Kyoto University Library”
Speaker : Chifumi Nishioka (Kyoto University Library)
Abstract : We introduce our digital archiving project whose objective is
to facilitate scholars by digitizing rare materials (e.g., manuscripts) and making
them public. The lecture first explains how to select rare materials to be
digitized, how to scan, and how to make digitized images public briefly.
Thereafter, we focus on our IIIF-compliant digital archive system, which will be
launched in September. - 16:25-16:35 Exhibition of rare materials
We show several Japanese rare materials such as books, which have been
digitized and made public by our digital archive system. These materials are
strictly stored at the stockroom in the basement and normally closed.
Please note that participants cannot enter the stockroom as well as we cannot
show rare materials except those brought to this exhibition. - 16:35-16:50 Digitization lab
We visit the digitization lab, where rare materials are scanned by experts.
These digitized materials are delivered to our IIIF-compliant digital archive
system and go public.
