Libraries and Archives in South Asia (LASA) wiki
Digital South Asia Library, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, US.
Supplied note:
"The Digital South Asia Library is pleased to announce the launch of
the Libraries & Archives in South Asia (LASA) wiki, a collaborative
user-driven effort to compile a guide to South Asian libraries and
archives for academics and researchers in the humanities and social
sciences. The LASA wiki contains detailed information about libraries
and archives in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives,
Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It aims to become a full-fledged
portal to research in South Asia, for the scholarly community and by
the scholarly community.
Any entry in the wiki can be improved upon with new or updated
information. A typical entry contains location, contact information,
basic access and collection information and a link to the
institution's website when it is available. More detailed
information, including maps, photographs, links to online catalogs,
etc. are provided when available. [....]
We hope to add new features, as the wiki develops. We invite all contributions.
The wiki can be accessed at [the URL below]
[...] The LASA wiki was created by Samip Mallick, Assistant
Bibliographer for Southern Asia at the University of Chicago Library.
