VIRTUAL CITIES PROJECT TOOLBOX
The VCP Toolbox presents the tools as well as extensive documentation for their use and development. The toolbox is shared by all the participants and individual cities included in the Virtual Cities Project. Its purpose is to offer a common ground for technical standards as well as best practices in the field of digital humanities. The present toolbox owes a lot to the THL -- Tibetan and Himalayan Library -- that provided much of the initial content of the VCP Toolbox. We are very grateful for the THL for allowing us to use and adapt their splendid toolbox.
A digital library provides integrated software systems, tools, fonts and documentation to enable users to work with the collections with search and access procedures considerably more powerful than the traditional library. It goes far beyond the limited traditional tools of a library in enabling users to creatively interact with the digital collections and reference materials, as well as generate new user-defined collections for their own private purposes (Read more about our policy of Collaborative Documentation which invites input from all VCP users - contact us at vcp (then add the at sign, then tge-adonis.fr to get email address) to send contributions or offer to participate more systematically.
