Liquidate the bottom of the house
The completion rate of the census of ancient books is among the best in the country
A census of ancient books is like issuing an "identity card" to each ancient book: each book must be checked one by one to ensure that the information stored is accurate.
At present, Jiangsu has basically completed the census and registration of ancient books, collected more than 250,000 pieces of ancient book bibliographic data from 68 ancient book collection units in the province, and created a new historical record for the existing ancient book bibliography of public collection institutions in Jiangsu Province.
Precise policy
A hierarchical and classified protection system has been gradually established
In the first six batches of national precious ancient books list review, Jiangsu was selected as a total of 1422 national precious ancient books, accounting for 10.9% of the national total, ranking first in the country's provinces.
Up to now, Nanjing Library (Jiangsu Provincial Ancient Books Protection Center) has organized the declaration and selection of five batches of provincial precious ancient book directories, which is the province with the largest number of developments at the same level in the country.
"Rejuvenation"
The restoration of ancient books has been solidly promoted
A knife, a piece of paper, a bottle of pulp, so that the handwriting that has wandered in the smoke of time is clearly legible again. The magic and inheritance of ancient book restoration can be called "I repair ancient books in Nantu". In 2021, the Provincial Ancient Books Protection Center organized 20 units and 70 restorers in the province to participate in the national declaration of ancient book restorers, showing the overall level of ancient book restoration in Jiangsu.
This year, Nanjing Library will also serve as one of the first twelve national ancient book restoration bases in the country to welcome the quadrennial on-site inspection of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The inheritance of books, the collation and development of the use of fruitful results
How to spread the fragrance of books for a long time? Jiangsu takes the project as the starting point to strengthen the ability of collation and research of ancient books in the province, and comprehensively reflects the context of historical culture and book collection culture.

Under the principle of "simultaneous collection and use", all ancient book collection units in the province have actively carried out the collation of historical documents in their collections, and published a series of historical documents of high quality, including photocopying of the original, bibliographic collation, catalogue compilation and other forms of historical documents. Taking Nantu as an example, he published the "Nanjing Library Collection of Unpublished Library Manuscripts Integration" (History Department) (sub-department) and "Nanjing Library Collection of Rare Bibliographies and Bibliographies Series", etc., which were later generations.
