[INDOLOGY] Manuscript collections on archive.org

Tue Jul 25 23:36:42 UTC 2023

Greetings,

   The  Lalcand Research Library (originally in Lāhore) of D.A.V. College,
Chandigarh has a large collection, some of which was previously available
on archive.org.  The manuscripts that I downloaded a few years back came
with a full roman transcription as well as translations. Current web site:
https://www.davchd.ac.in/lcrl

    A MS from the Asiatic Society of Mumbai was also available on
archive.org some years back, but it too has disappeared from there and
(likely) been integrated into their new site at:

https://www.asiaticsociety.org.in/index.php/holdings/manuscripts

This site requires registration and the payment of a fee as an annual
subscription.

   One note about the Penn collection: it is integrated into the worldcat
site, so a search for a book will also bring up notices of the Penn
collection, plus links that bring you directly to the digitized images.

Best wishes,

Tim Cahill
