[INDOLOGY] Fwd: Announcement: launch of Searchable Aggregate Library of Sanskrit Etexts

[Harry Spier]

Dear list members,
I am extremely pleased to announce the launch of the "Searchable Aggregate
Library of Sanskrit Etexts" newly created by myself from the major
sanskrit  etext collections on the web, whose licensing permits their
copying for non-commercial use.

Link: *searchable-sanskrit-library.org
<http://searchable-sanskrit-library.org>*

1) It contains 1501 etexts giving a cross section of sanskrit texts from
the vedic texts onward to pre-modern . The etexts are copied from the
following collections.
GRETIL sanskrit etext collection: 804 etexts
SARIT sanskrit etexts in transliteration: 54 etexts
University of Texas Dharma etexts and Upanishad etext collections: 86 etexts
Digital Corpus of Sanskrit vedic prose collection (containing many TITUS
texts): 58 etexts.
Muktabodha etext collections  with Creative Commons licencing (not
including its joint venture etexts) : 499 etexts

2) There is a single clickable index to the entire collection in sanskrit
letter order.

3) The search engine allows searchs in normal mode or with regular
expressions. The results are displayed in what's known as "search in files"
format, which shows all the results in a single page.  Clicking on a result
opens the relevant etext to that line in a new tab.

If clicking on a line doesn't open the file up, then your browser malware
protection may be the problem and you will have to add the url
*searchable-sanskrit-library.org
<http://searchable-sanskrit-library.org>* as a safe site.

4) Care has been taken to give credit to the institutions and
transcribers.  All files have their original headers and the clickable
index to the etexts  lists in addition to the titles, the institution and
the transcribers names that created the etext.

It is hoped that this new etext library will be both a  location  to search
for etexts but also given that the collection is a cross-section of the
literature from the earliest times onwards and regular expression searchs
can be done, it is hoped that it will also be a research tool.

This is a private initiative unaffiliated with any organisation.

Thank you,
Harry Spier
