In order to assist NCL’s “Research Grants for Foreign Scholars in Chinese Studies” and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs “Taiwan Fellowship” recipients in fully grasping the distribution and utilization of academic resources, NCL held the “Class on Library Resource Use and Academic Visit for Foreign Taiwan Fellowship Recipients” at NCL on the afternoon of May 8^th, 2024. 

The National Archives Administration is currently holding the “Treasures of the Archives” permanent exhibit and the “Island of Miracles” special exhibit. “Treasures of the Archives” introduces archive records related to significant national historical events, for example, historical memories from the process of extending compulsory national education from 6 years to 12 years and records from early in the Republic of China period when the New Taiwan Dollar was issued to address currency inflation and valued at 1 dollar for 40,000 old Taiwan Dollars. “Island of Miracles” presents historical records to exhibit the history of Taiwan’s major engineering projects, for example when the New Central Cross Island Highway was the first transportation construction project in Taiwan to take nature conservation into consideration, how the Kaohsiung Harbor expansion project overcame difficulties to build an undersea tunnel, as well as images of the animal parade that took place when the National Taipei Zoo location was moved. During their visit, the scholars were able to walk into this history to experience it for themselves.
