The original contract between the German Research Society and the Nepalese
authorities stipulated that copies of microfilms had to be purchased
directly from the National Archives in Kathmandu.  The one exception to
this was that copies of the films were available in Berlin, where German
nationals could consult them and have copies.  That's the contract and it
has not been renegotiated.  Many of us have wrestled with all this for many
decades.

If anything different from this is happening then it is the result of an
altruistic gesture by someone in favour of supporting non-nationalistic
scholarship, which is lovely.  But it's not a result of a change in the
original terms of the contract.

Best,
Dominik
