On September 21, at the Lao Cai Provincial Library (facility 1), the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism organized the launch of the Ho Chi Minh Space - Digital Space "From Heritage to Digital Knowledge", to celebrate the 68th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's visit to Lao Cai (September 23, 1958 - September 23, 2026).
The space is built in an intuitive, modern direction, combining traditional displays and digital technology applications.
Nearly 2,000 documents are collected, selected, classified and arranged according to themes, helping readers access documents about the life, career and imprints of President Ho Chi Minh in a more convenient way.
Instead of just standing in front of bookshelves or displays, readers can scan QR codes to look up information, learn more about each document and access digitized content.
One of the highlights is the theme "Uncle Ho's journey to find a way to save the country". Through maps, images, documents and typical quotes, his journey is recreated in chronological order, creating an intuitive story for viewers.
The space also introduces typical works such as "Duong Kach Menh" (Revolutionary Path), "Sua doi loi lam khoi" (Changing Working Style) and research works on Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style.
The art book arrangement model "Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum" and images of the historical document "Declaration of Independence" in 1945 became highlights in the exhibition area.
A separate area dedicated to the theme "Uncle Ho in the hearts of Yen Bai and Lao Cai people" brings viewers back to documents associated with the feelings and advice of President Ho Chi Minh to ethnic minorities.
The images, stories and documents introduced here not only record historical imprints but also reflect the feelings of the local people for him, as well as the results in studying and following Ho Chi Minh's thought, morality, and style.
This is also a clear local display, helping stories about President Ho Chi Minh not only stop at major milestones of history but be connected with the land and people of Lao Cai and Yen Bai.
A noteworthy point of the Ho Chi Minh Space is the approach to the public through technology.
The digital area is equipped with a computer tra cứu system, tablets, touch screens, QR codes and digital library platforms. Besides books and electronic newspapers, readers can access documentaries, videos, audiobooks, digital photo exhibitions and many multimedia contents.
This approach expands the reading space from book pages and display cabinets to a digital environment, more suitable for the information search needs of students and young readers.
From books, images, artifacts to digital data, a new space is opening up a new way of accessing documents about President Ho Chi Minh.
This is also a direction for the library not only to be a place to store books, but to become an address for reading, learning, experiencing and connecting knowledge with life.
