One of his most index achievements is generalized the index theory as Index Movement. He compiled the Xinqiao Dictionary and Agricultural Index. By researched the index history of The Republic Of China and the index achievement of Wan Kwoh-ting, its revelation is that the subject index is very useful for modern agricultural history research and the document digitization of The Republic Of China.The main part of this paper was on the document digitization of The Republic Of China. Three index softs were analyzed such as The Star Of Index, WORD and the soft myself. E-book was the very useful ways for protection the document. As a example, China Tea Problems was packed up in e-book by Easy CHM soft for study the principles, technology and how to applied in the agricultural document digitization of The Republic Of China.

They are the Periodical Paper Title Database, Book Title Database, Newspaper Full TXT database, Dissertation Database Of Nanking University, Local History Document Database. These databases could be divided into four types, such as title, full text, image and TXT-image. The data of the document of The Republic Of China are rich very much in these databases.

It adopted the SQL Server database and the information organization technology and digitized the agricultural document of The Republic Of China. It investigated its actuality of the collection, housing, protection and usage of the agricultural document of The Republic Of China. The digitization technology was experimented and selected the project. These technologies and project were applied for digitizing much more on the agricultural document of The Republic Of China. For agricultural history research, it was a creation to applied the information organization into the agricultural document digitization of The Republic Of China. For library and information science, it was also a creation. That was creation to applied general technology into a embody subject.
