There's also a nice collection of Sanskrit mss. from Cambridge U. :

https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/sanskrit/1

The Gallica database of the Bibliotheque nationale de France also includes scans of many Skt. and other Indic mss., but I haven't found an easy way to globally search Skt. alone. Here's the general site:

https://gallica.bnf.fr/accueil/en/content/accueil-en?mode=desktop

And, if anyone cares to look up the details and post them, the Endangered Archives programme of the British Library (https://eap.bl.uk/) has scanned quite a lot of Pali and probably some Sanskrit as well (not to mention Tibetan, Mongolian, etc.).

The Buddhist Digital Archives (https://library.bdrc.io/), though specializing in Tibetan, has recently branched out to include Pali, Sanskrit, and SE Asian languages, though I am not yet clear about what part of these additions are redirects to other databases.

Admittedly NOT on archive.org, however, the Jain elibrary

https://jainelibrary.org/

(free registration required for full access)

has scanned and uploaded around 800 manuscripts (seemingly exclusively Jain texts) (findable in the category on the left of the site) as well as the 16,899 ‘books’ on the site and 6,000+ ‘articles’

Dear list members,

Has anyone compiled a list of manuscript collections on archive.org. I'm of course aware of egangotri, but I would appreciate it if members could give me references to other collections of original manuscripts.

Thanks,

Harry Spier
