The Center for Research Libraries has collected and preserved archives and heritage materials from South Asia and made them available to scholars since its founding. CRL and the South Asia Microform Project (SAMP) have been sustaining primary source materials that span four centuries and the entire subcontinent. CRL acquires and maintains digital and microform materials from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and other countries. Parts of CRL’s collections were acquired through the P.L. 480 Program, the predecessor to the South Asia Cooperative Acquisitions Program. The collection contains materials in many South Asian languages such as Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, and Urdu. CRL’s collection covers various subject fields. The South Asia Open Archives Initiative (SAOA) seeks to create and maintain a collection of open access materials for the study of South Asia. Many older SAMP projects resulted in digital content that is available via CRL’s digital depository and the JSTOR platform from SAOA.
