The Tibetan and Himalayan Library (THL) is a publisher of websites, information  services, and networking facilities relating to the Tibetan plateau and southern  Himalayan regions. THL promotes the integration of knowledge and community  across the divides of academic disciplines, the historical and the contemporary,  the religious and the secular, the global and the local.  In addition to more  typical academic projects, THL promotes participatory knowledge that is created  by and benefits local communities, while including contributors from all walks  of life around the world. Data includes text, audio-video, images, maps,  immersive objects, reference works, and interpretative essays. THL’s knowledge  and technology are provided free of charge, and are built collaboratively by  hundreds of people across the world who share this vision. We also have sister  initiatives built by and for the communities in this region – the Tibetan  Digital Library and the Bhutan National Digital Library. Explore our websites  and services, and consider joining us as active participants.
