李贞伯等拍摄敦煌石窟影像档案的内容及价值

On the Contents and Value of the Image Archives of the Dunhuang Caves Photographed by LI Zhenbai

敦煌研究院有4万多张石窟影像档案资料,经过多年整理陆续进行数字化扫描后现已经保存于敦煌研究院数据库。从2021年开始我们对之前尚未整理的8000余张不同介质的敦煌石窟影像档案进行了整理。这8000余张石窟影像档案是20世纪50年代初至80年代末李贞伯与其他同事拍摄的,其内容主要为敦煌石窟艺术及常书鸿先生等莫高窟守护者们在敦煌石窟保护、研究、弘扬等各方面的影像档案记录,是研究敦煌石窟壁画保存状况、自然演变、敦煌研究院发展历程的重要参考资料。

There are more than 40,000 images of the content of the Dunhuang Caves held in the Dunhuang Academy that have been digitized and stored in the academy's database.From the beginning of 2021,workers at the academy began sorting through over 8,000 images taken by scholar Li Zhenbai and his colleagues between the 1950's and the early years of the 1980's.The photographs mainly focus on the art of the Dunhuang Caves,as well as early conservation projects undertaken at Mogao by researchers such as Chang Shuhong.These image archives are essential reference material for research on the conservation conditions and historical evolution of Dunhuang cave murals,and on the history of the Dunhuang Academy.
