Research Guides: Chinese Rare Book Sample Pages: Home

About 简介

University of British Columbia (UBC) Asian Library has the largest Chinese collection in western Canada. For many decades, it has been providing excellent services for the local and international students and scholars. Funded by Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) and Mellon Foundation, we are now gradually revealing the hidden rare collections at UBC, so that they can be accessible to scholars.
The Asian Library features a rich collection of ancient Chinese language materials, including many books, manuscripts and hand-written copies from Ming Dynasty. Rare and unique items in the world have been discovered from the project. Digitizing Chinese ancient rare books is a long-term and challenging task that the UBC Library is striving to collaborate with other institutions. Therefore, we welcome your comments and support to preserve and promote these Chinese heritage treasures.

加拿大不列顛哥倫比亞大學（UBC）亞洲圖書館，是加拿大西部最大的中文文獻收藏中心，長期以來堅持為本地以及全球各地的學生學者提供優質的文獻服務。得益於美國圖書館信息資源委員會（CLIR）以及和美囯梅隆基金會 (Mellon Foundation)的經費支持，我们正在逐漸揭示暗藏在本舘的珍本祕籍以嘉惠學林。
豐富的中文古籍善本書是館藏特色之一，其中包括大量的明版书、稿本及抄本，亦不乏海内外罕见的珍本和孤本。中文古籍善本書的數字化是館內工作人員正在努力進行的一項長期工程，它不僅需要投入大量的人力、物力和財力，更需要多方的合作。非常歡迎有意願的個人與機構，和我們一起為更好地保存與弘揚中華文化，盡一份力量。
本圖庫收錄了部分館藏精品的書影資料，每種書選錄有特色的葉面一至三幅。在全書數字化之前，可先睹為快，以飨读者。
