The “1,000-year-old Thang Long-Hanoi” book collection, key projects to celebrate the millennium anniversary of the capital city has been implemented by the Hanoi Publishing House (HPH) since September 2006.

The collection covers various fields, including geography, socio-economics, literature, history and culture.

At present, the HPH is speeding up the compilation of the books in order to complete the collection before the millennium anniversary. To date, 21 book titles have been published.

In addition to the specialised collection, the publishing house has also released 25 book titles about Thang Long-Hanoi for local libraries and high schools in Hanoi. Five e-books about the capital city will be also published on the occasion.

The project will also collect and systematise documents about Thang Long-Hanoi in Vietnam and foreign countries in order to build a database on Thang Long-Hanoi’s civilisation. The collection and systematisation process is expected to be completed in June this year.

Earlier, the People’s Committee of Hanoi City has launched a campaign to seek valuable and rare books and documents about Thang Long-Hanoi and 412 valuable sets of documents have been collected so far.
