IDP is back online, with a new look. Part of this is the new viewer, which looks fresh and exciting. Most importantly, it allows to look at manuscripts easier and more conveniently.

国际敦煌项目（IDP）新网站上线。IDP整合了35家合作机构（包括国内的敦煌研究院、国图）的馆藏，汇集关于东方丝绸之路的在线藏品。网站提供敦煌写本、印刷材料和其他文物的图像、信息和学习资源。

This is a great project about the extraordinary repository of material found in the Mogao Buddhist caves in Dunhuang and various other archaeological sites at the eastern end of the Silk Road. Some real treasures are found in there!

The new International Dunhuang Programme website is excellent and vastly superior to the old one. Browsing and searching are much better and the image viewer is state of the art. Through their implementation of IIIF the IDP has strengthened its commitment to open access. Bravo IDP team!
