中国国家图书馆前身是建于清代的京师图书馆。20世纪初,在变法图强和西学东渐的背景下,有识之士力奏清政府兴办图书馆,以承扬民族文化、吸收先进科学。1909年9月9日宣统皇帝御批兴建京师图书馆。中国国家图书馆馆藏丰富,品类齐全,古今中外集精撷萃。1998年底,馆藏文献已达2160万册(件),居世界国家级图书馆第五位,并以每年60—70万册的速度增长,这是一笔无比丰富的文化资源,是中国历史文化的宝库。 由于一部分书籍因储藏年代久远,加之不可避免的气候及空气因素的影响,尤其是一些善本,珍本藏书已到了务必要修复的地步。但修复数量之巨大,是世人无法想象到的,而且从事修复工作的技术人员数量有限,因此极有可能会造成中国历史文化资源的大量流失。面对这种情形,本刊记者专门采访了中国国家图书馆有关负责修复善本、珍本图书工作的负责人,就此事做了具体的了解。
The predecessor of the National Library of China was the Capital Library built in the Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of the 20th century, under the background of reform and development of laws and regulations and the gradual progress of western learning, well-educated people tried to establish a library by the Qing government in order to carry forward national culture and absorb advanced science. September 9, 1909 Xuan Tong emperor Royal approved the construction of the capital library. The National Library of China has a rich collection of books and a complete collection of books. By the end of 1998, the collection of documents reached 21.6 million (pieces), ranking the fifth in the world of state-level libraries and growing at a rate of 60-70 million copies annually. This is an extremely rich cultural resource and is a part of China’s history and culture Treasure house Due to the long storage period of some books, together with the unavoidable impact of climate and air factors, especially some rare books, the rare books have reached the level of repair necessary. However, the huge amount of restoration is unthinkable and there are only a limited number of technical personnel engaged in restoration work, which is likely to result in the drastic loss of resources of Chinese history and culture. Faced with this situation, our correspondents interviewed the chief of the National Library of China responsible for the restoration of rare books and precious books, and made a specific understanding of the matter.
