Project details

A long standing partnership
The British Library has worked with colleagues from the Dunhuang Academy on various projects for many years. Most recently on a series of educational workshops held in Dunhuang and London for local school children.

The digitisation centre
The British Library set up an International Dunhuang Project (IDP) digitisation centre at the Dunhuang Academy in April 2009 after a year of training visits from digitisation staff to Dunhuang.

Internship programme
Two interns will be coming for 5–6 months each later this year.

The first intern, Mr Zhao Liang, is due to arrive in London in July. He will mainly be doing Photoshop image manipulation while learning about the whole IDP workflow and digitisation process. During his stay he will visit other cultural institutions in London and the UK.

His colleague Mr Sheng Yanhai will arrive by the end of the year.
