BEIJING, May 31 (Xinhua) -- The China National Archives of Publications and Culture (CNAPC) on Friday welcomed new collections donated by public institutions and private collectors.

This latest donation marks the second of its kind since the CNAPC's inception in July 2022, comprising over 15,000 physical objects and a staggering 131 terabytes of digital data.

It follows the CNAPC's initial receipt of donated collections in August 2023.

The new donation features diverse items, such as original ancient texts, premium ancient book publications, and woodblock prints. The collections are characterized by their high historical and cultural value.

Headquartered in Beijing with branches in Xi'an, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou, the CNAPC serves as the national repository of imprint resources and the genetic bank of Chinese culture.

It is dedicated to preserving and inheriting national imprint resources, aiming to become a national center for relevant collections, exhibitions, research, and exchanges.
