I would like to thank Tyler Neill and Claudius Teodorescu for discussions
about how to save and make available the data of the NGMCP Wiki.  My
original panic about this has subsided now, since Hamburg yesterday put a
simplified version of the data online again.

Tyler has already explained matters clearly.  In future you can consult
this data at either of the following sites:

   - https://www-archiv.fdm.uni-hamburg.de/ngmcp/index.html
   - https://tylergneill.github.io/ngmcp-wiki-mirror

This data provides descriptive information on nearly 16,000 manuscripts.

A much simpler, searchable index of these *and many more *manuscripts is
still available at Hamburg under the titles "Online Title List" and "Indic
Manuscripts".  I think there are 117,406 manuscripts in this index:

   - https://catalogue.ngmcp.uni-hamburg.de/content/search/ngmcpdocument.xed

And the Nepalese National Archives themselves provide a searchable index.
I don't know if it is based on the same data as the Hamburg "Online title
list", but I think that is likely.  The NAK index says it has data on
114,552 manuscripts:

Best wishes,
