Establishment and Management of a Digital Archive for Taiwanese Folk Arts

The integration of technology in culture has long been what digital archiving in Taiwan is dedicated to achieving. Professor Yung-Cheng Hsieh of the Department of Graphic Communication Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts, is now leading a team of digitization professionals and actively cooperating with the folk arts class at Chung Cheng Junior High School in Keelung. The ¿Digital Village of Taiwan Folk Sports¿ project, one of the national digital archives programs from the National Science Council (NSC), involves not only the construction of standard procedures for digitization, but at the same time, through the integration of digital media, such as the internet, animations and videos, presents a first-class Taiwanese folk arts dissemination platform.
