Cyber Island Platform

In order to extensively and diversely display various aspects of Taiwan and to weave Taiwanese collective memory, NDAP Content Development Division launched “Cyber Island Platform” in May 2006. “Cyber Island” is divided into two parts: newsletter and audiovisual repository. For the part of the newsletter, we have already delivered five issues. We’d like to share with the general public the news, ideas, and experiences related to digital archive and cyberspace via various subjects and copious yet easily-comprehended content. Combined with audiovisual repository in the future, the newsletter would be better presenting the richness of Taiwanese cultural diversities. As for the audiovisual repository, we conduct the collection mainly by soliciting external contributions and by allowing free uploading. Apart from the main collections, we also host such activities as photo contests, presentation conferences and publications of photo albums. We hope to inspire all citizens of Taiwan to participate and collaboratively construct our own precious Taiwanese memory. 

Main purposes:

1. Collect and display digitalized photographs on the platform.

2. Enrich the content of digital archives.

3. Present Taiwan’s cultural diversities.

4. Spread knowledge of digital life and the practice of digital archive technologies. 

Target Users:

1. The public.

2. Local experts in cultural and historical domain.

3. Valuable photographs and audiovisual content owners outside of the non-solicited projects of NDAP.

“Cyber Island Platform” is continuously improving its functions. Right now, we are collaborating with the Research and Development Division of NDAP for the enhancement of audiovisual file uploading.
