The Study and Creation of Taiwanese Buddhist Digital Database

The purpose of this project is to integrate humanities and science in the study and creation of Taiwanese Buddhist Digital Database that contains the largest dataset in this field of study from Ming dynasty to date. Although Taiwanese Buddhism has played an important role in the history and culture of Taiwan for more than 300 years, there are not many studies or reports on this topic. Therefore, the building of this database is not just one of its kind, but it might play an important role as an entry point for Sinologist or Buddhist Studies scholars, native and abroad.

Feature:

Research materials relating to Taiwanese Buddhism including books, journal articles (indexes and full texts), transcripts of interview, historical documents, multimedia resources, etc.
