announce the addition of a new catalogue to its web pages. The catalogue
gives details of material copied by project EAP281: Locating and
identifying Lepcha manuscripts as a first step towards their
preservation.
The project carried out a survey on Lepcha manuscripts held in private
collections in Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Sikkim in India. As part of the
project, 40 Lepcha manuscripts were fully digitised and copies were also
deposited with the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology in Sikkim.
