“The Train Now Stops at the Roof of the World”
Tibet in the 21st Century

Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library
with Professor David Germano

In 1998, Professor David Germano, an associate professor of Tibetan and Buddhist Studies at the University of Virginia, began an initiative to create a repository of digital resources for Tibetan Studies. It has, over time, developed into the Tibetan and Himalayan Digital Library (THDL) to facilitate interdisciplinary and collaborative work in Tibetan Studies.

Serving a wide range of communities, THDL publishes multilingual studies, multimedia learning resources, and creative works concerned with the area's environments, cultures, and histories. Professor Germano will talk about the various initiatives that THDL is involved with.
