Abstract:	Tsz Fung Palace was built in AD 1737 with the history of 277 years, which honors the Chinese Virgin in heaven – Mazu. In order to preserve the local culture assets (tangible and intangible) of Tsz Fung Palace, and to promote the cultural heritage abroad, this project collected the seniors’ allusions, videos, historical documents and other information with the temples of art in Tsz Fung Palace, and digitized them into a collection in 9 months, which is similar to a library collection system. In order to design a semi-library system, the project took advantage of librarians’ capacity on digitalizing and relevant experience on database management, and set up a rule of rough classification for the current information and documents that may arise in the future. The semi-library system with a classification and catalog system concept, however, it is unable to produce the call-numbers due to the collection of Tsz Fung Palace is not going to check-out for the public. The project team has conducted three steps to build the system. First of all, for each type of data, the team applied information technology to digitize all materials and to preserve all the materials into a database. Second, the team designed the website. Third, the team designed a software program to combine website and database together. Finally, the project team let the collection display on the web page. However, part of the meeting records and budget or funding details, just as the records of purchasing model of library system, will not appear, it is not necessary to be shown for the public. Two-thirds of the Palace almost has been burned on Dec. 3rd. in 1983, which was caused by electrical fire; furthermore, not only the building, but also the documents not much left. Therefore, the digital archives completed not only kept in the server of the Tsz Fung Palace, but also storage in cloud. As a result, the digital archives and collection, which were established in this project, may be served as long as possible. At present, this project has the following benefits: 1. It is helpful for academics research or people's understanding and application, after digitizing the relevant documents of Tsz Fung Palace. 2. After building the database and website, public are easy to consult services of Tsz Fung Palace, and easy to retrieve the relevant information from the back-end of database. 3. Not only academia and related cultural industries can take advantage of such information and material, and to improve the quality of research and production; but also to strengthen the cultural communication between domestic and foreign 2 religion organizations. There are following suggestions for future digitizing archives process: 1. It is better to provide manuals to facilitate the Tsz Fung Palace staffs for conducting data collection and subsequent preservation, because the staffs lack the concept of information and technology. 2. Before archiving in the future, the staffs better to file or aggregate the rough materials by themselves, because they have a better understanding for the historical documents, which sometimes with stories beyond words and films.
