Competence Center at the MAS: What we did
We chose 12 books and digitized over 1500
pages according to the following criteria:
science related, researcher, ownership
Judrem by Jalkhanz khutaktu Damdinbazar 1923, 618 pages
A detailed description of which traditions of Buddhism were transmitted to Mongolia and who transferred them through India, Pakistan, Uighur and Tibet, also how Mongolians had been passing them down until the early 1920’s.
What we did: Virtual museum & Exhibition
EXHIBITIONS ARE USUALLY
ONE-TIME EVENTS
Mongolians are celebrating 100th
Anniversary of Enthronement of the
VIII Bogd Khan this year. A series of 12
exhibitions will be held in the Winter
Palace of the Bogd Khan.

Common problems
TECHNOLOGY RELATED
OPEN ACCESS & LEGAL ISSUES
Technology related problems
Even though National Library of
Mongolia digitized a lot of cultural
heritage books, there is no digital
library system installed for the books.
The ACIP project has stalled and it
needs to be renewed in 2011
Technology related problems
NEED FOR AN ACCESSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE
ELECTRONIC WORKING ENVIRONMENT
A better technology for digitizing large scale
maps and cotton arts
HOW TO READ DAMAGED BOOKS
3D SCANNER – digitization of artifacts
FISHEYE LENS – virtual museums
UNIQUE AND VALUABLE OBJECTS
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

organizations - to make a catalogue first
scholars - to get their researches published

Conclusion
If we help people with better technology in the
digitization of cultural heritage they should
understand its importance and
conveniences therefore
more and more
resources would become
openly accessible for everyone in need.
