The Documentation of Mongolian Monasteries (Монголын Сүм Хийдийн Түүхэн Товчоо) is an online database featuring more than a thousand historical and extant Buddhist sites in the Mongolian People’s Republic. In addition to providing comprehensive geospatial data and extensive notes on the Buddhist sites, the database is also an invaluable trove for oral histories as well as many other indispensable resources on Mongolian Buddhism.

The ERC funded research project BuddhistRoad creates a new framework to enable understanding of the complexities in the dynamics of cultural encounter and religious transfer in pre-modern Eastern Central Asia—the vast area extending from the Taklamakan desert to Northeast China. This region was the crossroads of ancient civilisations. Its uniqueness was determined by complex dynamics of religious and cultural exchanges gravitating around an ancient communication artery, known as the Silk Road. Buddhism was one major factor in this exchange; its transfer predetermined the transfer of adjacent aspects of culture.
