The collection has grown rapidly since 2000 to include additional 3000 new images from different relevant sources. Some are taken from publications with permission. In addition to images, some digital videos from the original PROJECT EMPEROR-I products are included. More will be added whenever possible. The descriptive information is available in both English and Chinese. The Emperor Collection serves as a model for integrating multi-format and multi-lingual resources from museums, archives, libraries and personal resources, provides a playground for image retrieval system development and enhancement.
