NDL contributes to the World Digital Library
On April 21, 2009, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Library of Congress and partner institutions launched a website, the World Digital Library ( http://www.wdl.org/en/ ).
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 National Diet Library (NDL) has contributed 15 items from its "Online Gallery" including the Hyakumanto Darani with English commentary.
On the day of its launch, an opening event was held in Paris, which Dr. Makoto Nagao, Librarian of the NDL, and Mr. Hisanori Tanaka, Director of the Digital Information Planning Office, attended from the NDL.
