Silk Road treasures united on the web

Charles Davis writes “from
The BBC,

A treasure trove of more than 50,000
manuscripts, paintings and artefacts from
ancient caves and temples along the Silk Road
are going on show on the web.
In real life, the collection is spread out all over the world, but researchers will now be able to find it all in digital form on a website developed jointly by the British Library and the National Library of China.
The collection can be found at either
idp.nlc.gov.cn
