ASCDC’s digital cultures program began in the 1980s, and its remarkable achievements have been contributed by dedicated teams all over Taiwan ever since. ASCDC succeeded to this program in 2013 and continues expanding its digital contents. To this day over 5.6 million digital items and 760 online platforms are available for public access and interdisciplinary research purposes. ASCDC in recent years also engages to promote interdisciplinary digital humanities research by means of facilitating linkages and cooperation between government agencies, academic institutions, and industries. It aims to have hidden perspectives and quality of cultural assets and academic resources to be explored further with innovative descriptions, interpretations, and communication. Ultimately, the goal is to promote the "democratization" and "globalization" of Taiwan.

This presentation will demonstrate our latest developments and achievements. Project teams will be at the venue to meet with our visitors to exchange ideas and thoughts. You are more than welcome to join us!
