New Digitization Initiative

We're launching a new digitization initiative: the Nepalese Buddhist Sanskrit Manuscript Scanning Initiative. Run in partnership with the University of the West and the Nagarjuna Institute in Kathmandu, the program will scan and catalog a variety of Nepalese Buddhist manuscripts in Sanskrit. This project is an important first step in our nascent activities in Nepal, part of our ongoing effort to broaden our focus to the preservation of Buddhist material in multiple languages.
