Asian Classics Input Project
"A database containing texts from the Kangyur and Tengyur (classical collections of Sanskrit literature in Tibetan translation), and the Sungbum (Tibetan language commentaries on these) transliterated into roman (ASCII) characters. These texts span the time period from the Fifth Century, BCE to the twentieth Century, CE. The database has been produced primarily for scholars of classical Asian literature and other interested persons. Text entry is accomplished by Tibetan monk scholars at Sera Mey Monastic University and other nearby centers in southern India. In addition to these texts the database contains aids to scholarship such as reference materials (including the entire listings of Sanskrit and Tibetan literature cataloged to date by the U.S. Library of Congress), DOS-based programs to view and search texts, and images scanned from the original manuscripts."
