Originally, a portion of this archive was available only on a fee basis. However, in order to meet the needs of Taiwan's educational system, the Academia Sinica last year gathered some portions of this archive together into the "Humanities Database for Students and Teachers" which is available to the public free of charge.
這個資料庫原本大部份資料檢索須付費使用，中研院已於去年六月針對中小學及大學通識教育的需求，另行摘要，編制了一個「人文資料庫師生版」免費開放供社會大眾使用。
