IDP [The International Dunhuang Project] Archives: Papers
International Dunhuang Project, British Library, London, UK.
Self-description:
"IDP keeps a paper archive of its activities which will accessible in the future at the British Library. This is supplemented by various electronic archives, including details of the web site in various incarnations, early digitised images, newsletter and papers. This is intended as a record of the founding and development of an early digitisation and internet based project and it is hoped that it will be of use and interest to others working on such projects both now and in the future."
