「漢籍全文資料庫計畫」的建置肇始於民國七十三年，為「史籍自動化」計畫的延伸，開發的目標是為了收錄對中國傳統人文研究具有重要價值的文獻，並建立全文電子資料庫，以作為學術研究的輔助工具。「漢籍全文資料庫」是目前最具規模、資料統整最為嚴謹的中文全文資料庫之一。
資料庫內容包括經、史、子、集四部，其中以史部為主，經、子、集部為輔。若以類別相屬，又可略分為宗教文獻、醫藥文獻、文學與文集、政書、類書與史料彙編等，四十多年來累計收錄歷代典籍已達一千五百五十一種（新增書目），八億五仟八百五十四萬餘字，內容幾乎涵括了所有重要的典籍。計畫往後將以原建置書目為中心，逐年增設主題，並擴增系統功能，尚期為專家、學者以及愛好文化人士，提供品質更優良的電子文獻，以及更完備的檢索工具。
The project for the Scripta Sinica database began in 1984. The first aim of this project was to digitize all documents essential to research in traditional Sinology. Secondly, a full-text database was established for academic research. Until present, Scripta Sinica is the largest Chinese full text database to encompass an enormous breadth of historical materials of this scale. More than 1,551 titles（new titles）and 858,541,409 characters of materials pertaining to the traditional Chinese classics have been included in the database and have been categorized with meticulous care. The Scripta Sinica database contains almost all of the important Chinese classics, especially those related to Chinese history. In the future, we will continue with the digitalization of more historical materials, and add new features to the system. We hope to provide scholars, students, and the general public with an excellent full-text database and search engine for the study of Chinese history and culture.
