Digital Himalaya Project, Department of Anthropology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA
Self-description "As part of the Digital Himalaya Project, [www.digitalhimalaya.com] we are beginning to digitise out-of-print volumes of Kailash - Journal of Himalayan Studies. This excellent publication, printed on traditional rice paper in Kathmandu, Nepal, by Ratna Pustak Bhandar, is difficult to acquire and only a handful of university libraries have assembled a complete set. With the support of the publishers and editors of the journal, we at Digital Himalaya have digitised Volume 1, Number 1, 1973 of Kailash. This edition is now available as a free PDF download in its entirety or in smaller segments organised according to the individual articles."
