2009-4-22 The NDL contributes to the World Digital Library

On 21 April, UNESCO, the Library of Congress and partner institutions launched a website, the World Digital Library. It collects digitized manuscripts, maps, rare books, photos and films from libraries and archives around the world which you can search and browse by place, time and topic.

The NDL has contributed 15 materials from its "Online Gallery" including the Hyakumanto darani with English commentary.
