[INDOLOGY] Manuscript collections on archive.org

Wed Jul 26 17:19:05 UTC 2023

Thanks for this Tim.  Links to the resources you mention are already there
in the listing at http://indology.info/external-resources, afaik.  The way
information is presented is far from clear: I'm trying to get an upgrade to
the Wordpress plugin, in the hope of improving presentation.

About the Asiatic Society of Mumbai, some of their MSS could be found at
archive.org by searching in Devanagari, but I think they have been taken
down.

Best,
Dominik
