The Dunhuang Studies Research Library, an online database that compiles global research results and first-hand information related to Dunhuang studies, was launched on Tuesday.
The online library includes manuscripts from the Dunhuang Academy collection, historical images, e-books on Dunhuang studies, and research results from scholars at home and abroad. The new database also offers search functions and new book recommendations, among other services.
Dunhuang studies is an interdisciplinary field devoted to the research, excavation, and preservation of cultural relics and documents from Dunhuang, Gansu Province, northwest China, with a focus on the Mogao Grottoes as a representative example.
The new research library was jointly developed by the Dunhuang Academy and the Chaoxing Group. According to Su Bomin, dean of the Dunhuang Academy, the online library is expected to provide academic support for scholars to conduct systematic research and produce more influential research results.
