This digital humanities project presents a selection of digitized French and Vietnamese-language books, published between 1920 and 1937 in Vietnam, when Vietnam was part of French colonial Indochina. The books are contained in the Indochina Collection of Robert Jones III at University of Washington Libraries. The exhibit seeks to 'bring these books to life' by introducing the publishing houses that created them, and providing context about the authors and publishers involved in their creation. This project demonstrates how curated digital humanities exhibits can provide context and interpretation to interest new users in digital collections and improve archival access for all.
