本網站「臺灣海外遺珍數位學習單元」計劃是在教育部科發基金資助下建置，其中包括三個中、英雙語數位學習單元：（1）『臺灣異人館─19世紀的外來採集者』、（2）『海外博覽會─1910年倫敦日英博覽會』與（3）『精選文物館─臺灣海外遺珍選粹』，進一步展開數位教育和文創推廣工作。主要內容以臺灣大學『臺灣海外民族學藏品資料庫』（TECOM）內的數位典藏資料做為基礎而延伸，彙整此資料庫中英國大英博物館、英國劍橋大學人類學博物館、牛津大學比德瑞佛斯博物館、加拿大皇家安大略博物館、美國自然史博物館與密西根大學人類學博物館等，六大知名歐美博物館所藏之珍貴臺灣文物與影像資料約1,700件，進行專題解說。本網站透過這些外來採集者與散佚海外的臺灣文物遺珍，企圖讓學習者理解19世紀中葉至20世紀中葉跨界收藏互動的歷史，以及認識珍貴的海外臺灣物質文化遺產。
