Origin
The Division of Training and Promotion was established in 2002 when The National Science Council (NSC) consolidated former digitization projects and formally started the National Digital Archives Program (NDAP), which acknowledges the importance of training digital archive personnel and of promoting the use of resources developed by NDAP.


Goals
1. To promote the concept and skills of digitization; to train digital archive personnel with necessary skills and
    experience.
2. To promote the exchange of ideas and digital archive-related experience between institutions and industry.
3. To promote the exchange of ideas and the sharing of experiences among professionals both nationally and
    internationally.
4. To achieve equal opportunities of learning through easy access of resources by integrating digital archives into
    teachers’instructional resources at all levels of schooling.
5. To promote the understanding and use of NDAP among the general public; to encourage lifelong learning and
    elevate the knowledge level and competency of our human resources.
6. To gather the information needs of users by conducting user studies; to evaluate the achievements of promotion
    activities and formative evaluation data provided to digitization institutions.
7. To further disseminate the output of NDAP to the general public and increase awareness of the importance of
    digitizing our cultural heritages.
