Self-description
"The [...] Project (NGMPP) was
founded in 1970 under an agreement between His Majesty's
Government of Nepal and the German Oriental Society, and is financed
by the German Research Council (DFG). The Project was established to
preserve Nepal's extraordinary wealth of old manuscripts and
historical documents on microfilm. The text material encompasses the
various branches of Hindu and Buddhist literature, and is thus of
significance far beyond the boundaries of Nepal."
