South Asia Archive

Trial access is now available to the South Asia Archive.

Trial ends December 6 2013.

The South Asia Archive is a specialist digital platform providing global electronic access to culturally and historically significant literary material produced from within – and about – the South Asian region. It is not merely a repository, but a vehicle for targeted research, and one which has been intelligently structured to ensure efficient content discovery.

Documents have been selected and catalogued by subject specialist editors, with expert commentaries provided to guide users through serial content.  The archive contains millions of pages of digitized primary and secondary material in a mix of English and vernacular languages dating back to the start of the eighteenth century, up to the mid-twentieth century. The archive is derived from original archive materials held by the The South Asia Research Foundation and provides online access to previously unavailable resources in South Asian studies.
