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