The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Embassy has been supporting UNESCO, through a fund, for the last two years in its work to digitise the manuscripts.
The manuscripts, written on latania leaves, faced extinction in the 1990s.
They are Cambodia's only written heritage available, apart from stone inscriptions, and an information source for researchers on the country's religious and cultural practices and customs.
The website was launched on Wednesday evening at the French Cultural Centre in Phnom Penh.
