The site is an evolving resource for the study of the early history of Tibet, from the Tibetan Empire (7th to 9th centuries) to the dark age of the 10th century. The main content of this site is a series of research notes presented in a weblog. The sources are the most important collections of early Tibetan manuscripts, the Stein collection at the British Library and the Pelliot collection at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. These manuscripts were excavated from several sites in Chinese Central Asia, but the most important group are all from a single cave in Dunhuang, which was sealed in the early 11th century and not opened up again until the early 20th century. While some of these manuscripts are well known to scholars, many more continue to languish in obscurity, and it is the authors aim to bring some of these neglected sources to light. |

| Tamang Historical Documents |
| |
The documents in this collection are the result of ethnographic field research by David Holmberg, Kathryn March, Mukta Singh Lama Tamang, and Suryaman Tamang in the regions of ethnic Tamang residence in Nepal. Included in this collection are 113 documents both in Tibetan and in Nepali. They come from both private and monastic holdings and pertain to clan histories, land and labor obligations, and relations between local Tamang communities and the Nepal Government over the last 200 years. The original copies of these documents, if they still exist, remain in the custody of their original owners. The use of these materials is free and open to all to enhance the widest possible understanding of Tamang ethnohistory. |
