The Samantabhadra Archives
The Nyingma Tantras Project, University of Virgina, USA
Self-description: "The Samantabhadra
Archives is an electronic and collaborative project aiming at the
reproduction, analysis, interpretation, and translation (as
appropriate) of Tibetan literature. At present we are focused on
Nyingma and Bonpo literature, but plan eventually to expand to other
types of Tibetan literature as well. Or intial focus is on the
various editions of of the great canonical collection of Tibetan
Buddhist scriptures known as The Collected Tantras of the Ancients
(rnying ma rgyud 'bum). The Archives is a scholarly venture based at
the University of Virgina administered by the Institute for the
Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH) at the University of
Virginia, and is also being developed in collaboration with the
Fondren Library of Rice University. The Archives should be fully open
to the public by the summer of 2000, prior to which the site will be
updated periodically so that interested individuals may follow its
progress."
Site contents: Archives in Detail; Into the Archives [not yet
available - ed.]; Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library - Digital
Tibetan Encyclopedia [not yet available - ed.]
[The Archives under construction
use SGML markup and supporting DTDs for their catalogues and text representation. A very promising future site
with digital documents - ed.]
