To preserve the historical and cultural assets
of the sugar industry and promote academic research, Taiwan Sugar Corporation
and the National Central Library (NCL) signed a "Cooperation Agreement on
the Digitization of Documents and Materials" in May 2025. Both parties
will jointly digitize the valuable collections of the Taiwan Sugar Research
Institute (TSRI) and present them on the National Central Library's
"Taiwan Memory" system platform for public access, thereby promoting
the permanent preservation of sugar industry culture.
The Taiwan Sugar Research Institute (TSRI)'s collection documents
the development of Taiwan's sugar industry across agriculture, industry,
transportation, management, and research and development. These documents not
only possess historical value but also hold significant potential for academic
and technological applications. Through collaboration with the National Central
Library, modern technology can be used to preserve these historical memories,
making sugar industry cultural knowledge more easily researched, applied, and
disseminated, thus giving back to society.
In April 2025,
TSC also co-organized a Taiwan sugar industry history and culture gathering
with non-governmental organizations. The "4th North-South Line Forum"
was held at the Taiwan Sugar Research Institute (TSRI) International Conference
Hall, attracting nearly fifty historians, local history workers, railway
culture enthusiasts, and personnel from TSC. This event has become an important
annual gathering for the Taiwan sugar industry research community.
