Dear list members,

It has just been brought to my notice that Anand Ashram Pune have begun making their catalogue of Sanskrit manuscripts, including the costs for acquiring copies, online on their website at http://www.aanandashram-sanstha.org/Manuscript_Summary.html. 

This is a great initiative by Mr Vasant Apte (managing trustee). I visited Anand Ashram back in May-June 2017 and at the time, I had a chance to talk to Mr Apte and recommended that he convince the board of trustees to fund a digitisation project, starting with an online catalogue of the 15,000+ manuscripts in their collection. I am delighted to hear that they have begun this task. I think the web catalogue is a little buggy so please feel free to contact Mr Apte directly at 

anandashramsan@gmail.com. I think the more contact/feedback smaller private institutions receive from scholars, the more inclined they'd be to make their collection available to us.

I attach the letter Mr Apte very kindly sent me below.
