Collections in the Ricci Institute

The Ricci Institute houses a collection of books and artifacts from China and East Asia between the 16th century to the 19th century. As a research institution, their primary focus is for scholars interested in this time period. Through this project, we realized that their presence online is only minimal at best. Teatime Treasures is a way for us to not only spread the word about this collection, but to also give the Ricci Institute an example of how they could potentially increase their digital presence, as well as showcasing their collection to a much wider and more diverse audience.
