The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Digital Repository is a one-stop repository for accessing all the publicly available digital content created and maintained by the CUHK Library. The Library has started creating its digital collections since 1995 with the purposes to preserve significant academic and intellectual work from the Library’s special collections and donation, some of which are not available elsewhere in Hong Kong; to promote access and sharing of these materials; and to support research and learning. The Library has now built a substantial mass of millions of digital files in different areas ranging from literature, culture, arts, politics, society, religion, and Chinese and Western medicine and different formats including rare/semi rare books, newspapers, journal articles, correspondences and manuscripts, oracle bones, photos, and audio-visual files. In 2014, the Library decided to use open source software to build this new repository system, in order to integrate all the digital content into a single platform that supports browsing, search and access across all digital collections in multiple formats; enables open access and allows for interoperability with other systems, making the digital collections more discoverable by search engines, is capable of handling digital objects in perpetuity, and provide functions for the selection, organization and maintenance of these collections. The legacy collections will be migrated in phases to the repository while new ones will be added continually.
