South Asia Research Documentation Services (SARDS) 2
Martin-Luther Universitat, Halle, Wittenberg, Germany
Self-description: "SARDS 2 is an electronic database containing bibliographic references to South Asia research articles published in journals, collective volumes, conference proceedings, Festschriften, etc. SARDS 2 is a project of the Centre for Research in the Historiography and Intellectual Culture of Kashmir (adwm.indologie.uni-halle.de), hosted by the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and headed by the Halle Chair in Indology. The focus of SARDS 2 is on the humanities and social sciences. To date, over 56.000 citations are electronically searchable, covering the period from 1786 until 2000. All entries can be downloaded and easily printed. SARDS 2 corresponds to the content of the database SARDS 1, initially issued on CD-ROM in 2002 for a limited circle of users (members of the Deutsche Morgenlaendische Gesellschaft (German Oriental Society)). SARDS 1 was based on bibliographic data systematically collected and indexed over a period of more than 30 years by Dr George Baumann (Tuebingen) ('Biblindo'). Andreas Pohlus (Halle) has increased Dr Baumann's data pool by a bibliography of articles of German Indologists (until 2000), put at the project's disposal by Albrecht Wezler (Hamburg)."
