Princeton’s Dunhuang materials are now included in the International Dunhuang Project, including students’ examination papers from the 8th century. Dunhuang, in western China on the legendary Silk Road, is famous for its cave library, sealed and hidden at the end of the first millennium CE and re-discovered in 1900. The library’s contents were dispersed over many continents since then but now have been reunited in a virtual archive. Manuscripts held in the Princeton East Asian Library and the Princeton University Art Museum were digitized by IDP London in October 2007. About the Dunhuang documents.
