Just to complement Dominik’s list:

 

There is an almost comprehensive catalogue of c. 100.000 Nepalese documents photographed by the NGMPP and sustainably maintained by the Heidelberg Academy of sciences and Humanities: https://nepalica.hadw-bw.de/nepal/catitems/index/0?page=4. The project cataloguing these data will last until October 2028. It will then have covered all metadata. For more information including access to the scans, see https://www.hadw-bw.de/en/research/research-center/documents-history-religion-and-law-pre-modern-nepalkindly or contact nepal[at]hadw-bw.de.

 

Best,

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:

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:

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,

Dominik
