Presented at the Council of East Asian Libraries in North America 2026 Annual Meeting, Electronic Resources Metadata Standards Best Practices Panel in Vancouver, Canada.

This project explores the Sally T. WongAvery Digital Collection of Chinese Material at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) and Cambridge University, part of a three-year collaborative project between Cambridge and UC San Diego Library. Supported by the Avery-Tsui Foundation, it uses cutting-edge digitization to make rare Chinese texts, artifacts, and manuscripts accessible worldwide. By opening these collections to scholars and the public, the project transforms research and education across disciplines while preserving cultural heritage for future generations. The project involves digitization, scholarly exchange, and staff exchange.
