NGMCP Descriptive Catalogue

This page replaces the static version of the former Mediawiki page. Since the project has not been active for a long time, we moved its content to the Web-Archive. You can search these pages by entering 'site:https://ngmcp.fdm.uni-hamburg.de/' after your search term in the search field of your Search engine.
To reduce redundency we only kept Wiki-pages, which have been edited. For the complete metadata catalogue please visit the online title list .

History

The Nepalese-German Manuscript Cataloguing Project [NGMCP] was the successor of the Nepal-German Manuscript Preservation Project. It was funded by the German Research Foundation from 2002. The main purpose of the project was to produce a descriptive catalogue of a significant part of about 160,000 manuscripts photographed by the NGMPP.

The Wiki meant as a platform to share the expertise of the community and a lot of scholars contributed their knowledge. Unfortunately there was no successor project and the Wiki was not maintained any further.
