On the Contents and Value of the Image Archives of the Dunhuang Caves Photographed by LI Zhenbai
There are more than 40,000 images of the content of the Dunhuang Caves held in the Dunhuang Academy that have been digitized and stored in the academy's database.From the beginning of 2021,workers at the academy began sorting through over 8,000 images taken by scholar Li Zhenbai and his colleagues between the 1950's and the early years of the 1980's.The photographs mainly focus on the art of the Dunhuang Caves,as well as early conservation projects undertaken at Mogao by researchers such as Chang Shuhong.These image archives are essential reference material for research on the conservation conditions and historical evolution of Dunhuang cave murals,and on the history of the Dunhuang Academy.
