The objective of the project is to analyze and process the printed manuscript from thousands of inscriptions carved in Vietnamese villages from the 16th to the 20th centuries.

In addition to in-depth historical research, including monographs on offerings related to village worship sites, the Vietnamica Project also focuses on processing the entire waterfall of inscriptions using technological techniques related to the digital humanities.
