国际敦煌项目

国际敦煌项目（IDP）是一项卓有成效的敦煌西域文献文物数字化合作项目。1994年成立，其秘书处设在英国国家图书馆。1998年，IDP网站（http://idp.nlc.cn/）开通。

这是一个开创性的国际协作项目，目标是使敦煌及丝绸之路东段其他考古遗址出土的写本、绘画、纺织品以及艺术品的信息与图像能在互联网上自由地获取，它致力于推动文献保护修复与研究的国际合作，向全世界各层次的使用者提供优质的敦煌西域文献图像，并通过教育与研究项目鼓励用户利用这些资源。IDP通过合作的方式，先后在北京、圣彼得堡、京都、柏林、敦煌、巴黎设立中心，包括中、英、法、俄敦煌文献四大收藏机构都设有IDP中心，全世界合作机构多达20多家。中国国家图书馆和敦煌研究院是IDP在中国合作的主要机构，也是IDP中文版的运营者。截至2024年9月，IDP网站拥有6种文字版本，已成为全世界提供敦煌藏经洞文献文物图片最多、覆盖面最广的数据库。

International Dunhuang Project

Established in 1994, the International Dunhuang Project (IDP) is a highly-effective collaboration focused on digitization of Dunhuang and Western Regions literature and artifacts. Its secretariat is located at the British Library. The IDP website (http:// idp.nlc.cn/) was opened in 1998.

This pioneering international collaboration aims to make information and images of manuscripts, paintings, textiles, and artworks unearthed from Dunhuang and other archaeological sites along the eastern Silk Road freely accessible on the internet. It is dedicated to promoting international cooperation in the preservation, restoration, and research of documents, providing high-quality images of Dunhuang literature to users worldwide, and encouraging the utilization of these resources through educational and research initiatives. The IDP has established centers through partnerships in various cities including Beijing, St. Petersburg, Kyoto, Berlin, Dunhuang, and Paris. Major Dunhuang literature collections from China, the UK, France, and Russia have IDP centers, with over 20 collaborating institutions globally. The National Library of China and the Dunhuang Academy are the primary Chinese collaborators in the IDP as well as the operators of the Chinese version of the IDP website. As of September 2024, the IDP website had become the world's largest, most comprehensive database of Dunhuang cave literature and artifact images, featuring six language versions.
