Taiwan is working to digitize the blueprints of railway stations built by Japan during its 50-year colonial rule of the island, the Taiwanese Ministry of Culture announced Wednesday.

Yang Tzu-pao, deputy minister of culture, told a news conference that the digital images of the design drawings will be stored on cloud servers at the National Railway Museum, which is scheduled to open in about two years.

"The museum will be the first museum managed by the ministry to provide digitized materials stored in the cloud," Yang said, noting the public will eventually be able to access the material online.
