The Edward Sylvester Morse Collection from the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem

A collection of rare materials that brings together books, manuscripts, and maps produced during the 18th and 19th centuries that document Japanese exploration and observation of the island and prefecture now known as Hokkaido in Japan, as well as Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands in Russia. Because the Ainu did not possess a written language, the materials in this collection include some of the earliest textual accounts of Ainu culture. They also include many color illustrations that document the Ainu people’s unique clothing, housing, cuisine, religion, family structures, and customs, albeit from the perspective of the Wajin rather than the Ainu themselves.

디지털 인문학이란? 현대 인문학이 전문화의 함정에 빠져서 점점 더 잃어가고 있는 교육과 연구의 생기를 새로운 소통과 협업, 융합의 환경(디지털 환경)에서 부활시키려는 노력입니다. 디지털 인문학의 교육적 과제 횡단적, 융합적 지식탐구를 위해서는, 전통적인 인문학 공부의 도구였던 말과 글의 구사 능력에 더하여, 체계적인 데이터의 수집과 정리, 검증을 통해 의미있는 지식 정보를 만들어내고, 그것을 새로운 디지털 콘텐츠로 표현할 수 있는 능력-‘디지털 리터러시(Digital Literacy)’의 훈련이 필요합니다. 디지털 인문학 연구소는 미래의 한국 문화를 이끌어 갈 인문학도들에게 디지털 리터러시의 역량을 강화하는 교육 환경을 제공하며, 이 토대 위에서 소통·협업·융합의 방법으로 심층적인 지식 탐구와 지식의 확산을 추구하는 디지털 기반 인문학 연구 프로젝트를 수행합니다.

A coworker once asked me, "What do you think of K-pop, K-drama, K-film, KKK?" What you see on this page is my attempt to answer that question. After seeing an image online of the "Cultural Iceberg" (of which there are many versions), I took one and created the K-Iceberg. While culture is indeed a complex concept and the iceberg demonstrates that culture is composed of a lot more things than we think, the Korean version shows how one simple type of branding has become widespread across many industries in Korea.

South Asia Resource Access on the Internet (SARAI), also known as the South Asian Studies Virtual Library, was developed and hosted at Columbia University Libraries between 1994 and 2017. This page provides historical background on SARAI, and a list of archived websites. (Please note that archived websites may load more slowly than live websites.) SARAI started as the South Asia Gopher (SAG), which was publicly accessed by Gopher or telnet connection to the Columbia University host. The SAG was developed by David Magier, then South and Southeast Asian Studies Librarian and Director of Area Studies at Columbia University Libraries. As of March, 1994 (see H-Asia announcements by Magier on March 9, 1994 and on October 30, 1994), this "in progress" site included: A) Bibliographic resources listing major international South Asia library collections, and links to the University of Wisconsin South & Southeast Asian Studies Video Archive catalog; B) links to international online resources in Australia, India, Germany and the United Kingdom; C) listings of South Asia related Usenet newsgroups, listservs, mailing lists, and bulletin boards; D) South Asia electronic text archives and listings of software and fonts for displaying and printing South Asian texts; E) South Asia teaching resources; F) an International Directory of South Asia Scholars of individuals identifying themselves as being involved in South Asian Studies, who had filled out a form distributed by email as in this August 15, 1995 H-ASIA log); G) a Directory of South Asia Research Institutes; H) specialized databases and archives on such topics as census data, environment, and health; I) a (then forthcoming) Grants Directory under the editorship of Itty Abraham (a Social Science Research Council program director).

The Digital South Asia Library (DSAL) provides digital materials for reference and research (dictionaries, gazetteers, photographs, prints, drawings, maps, statistics, bibliographies, indexes, books, and journals) on South Asia to scholars, public officials, business leaders, and other users.

The Columbia Research Guide For Modern Tibetan Studies was compiled by Gray Tuttle, Leila Hadley Luce Assistant Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies, and published for use on Library Web by Lauran Hartley, Tibetan Studies Librarian. It is a navigational tool for library patrons at Columbia University and elsewhere to access bibliographies and other noteworthy resources covering a wide range of subjects in the field of Tibetan Studies. Drawn from an extensive syllabus compiled by Professor Tuttle for his seminar “Sources for Modern Tibetan History,” the Guide in its current version is exceptionally strong in its survey of resources for historical research. The homepage provides additional links for other subjects: History, Social Sciences, Religious Studies, Language and Literature, Art, and Music. Many sections are still under development, and it is our hope that advanced graduate students or other scholars might contribute bibliographies for their areas of specialty, or suggest useful titles not mentioned here. Dr. Benno Weiner, for example, authored a critical survey of Chinese-language sources for the local histories of Tibetan areas in the People's Republic of China (PRC), while studying in the graduate program.

The Tibetan Studies Collection of the C. V. Starr East Asian Library is one of the most extensive in the country, with nearly 15,000 volumes of Tibetan-language print materials (in traditional and modern formats), 13,000 electronic texts, some 100 different serial titles, and important archival materials. The Library also actively acquires Western and Chinese-language Tibetological materials in the humanities and social sciences. HISTORY OF THE COLLECTION THE PL480 PROGRAM The origins of the Tibetan Studies Collection can be traced to the early 1970s when the university first began receiving Tibetan books and serials through the Public Law 480 Program administered by the Library of Congress. Lacking foreign currency to cover its wheat purchase debts, India agreed to repay the United States with multiple copies of newly published books which were distributed to designated university libraries in North America beginning in 1961. This arrangment, which lasted for more than twenty years, was authorized under and dubbed the Public Law 480 Program, or "PL480 Program" for short. In 1968, a young University of Washington-trained Tibetologist E. Gene Smith (1936-2010) was appointed to the New Delhi office of the Library of Congress to oversee the dissemination of these books. He used the opportunity to help reprint thousands of volumes of Tibetan texts, many of which had been carried to India by Tibetan refugees in the preceding years. Columbia University was one of the recipient libaries, and during the 1970s and early 1980s, it accumulated a collection of more than 5,000 volumes, the core resource when the University appointed Dr. Robert Thurman professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies in 1989. TIBETAN PUBLISHING TRENDS The bulk of Tibetan materials received gratis through the PL480 Program comprised religious and philosophical texts reprinted or published newly in India, Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan. In the early 1980s, however, Tibetan publishing in China experienced its own renaissance. Hundreds of Tibetan titles began to appear on the market, including modern-format editions of classical works, as well as reprints of influential works first drafted by senior scholars in the 1950s. Similarly, a new wave of newspapers and literary journals provided additional publishing opportunities for aspiring Tibetan writers. The successor to the PL480 Program -- the South Asia Cooperative Acquistitions Program (SACAP) of the Library of Congress -- began to acquire and disseminate Tibetan materials published in China, in addition to the titles issuing from South Asia. Today, Columbia University continues to subscribe to the SACAP Program, but also actively acquires through vendors and on acquisition trips a range of titles not held by other institutions, including locally published monographs and serials, audio-visual materials, and larger sets unavailable through the SACAP program. Even as a growing number of Tibetan authors express themselves in online venues, Tibetan scholarship and the print-publishing industry continue to flourish in both China and South Asia. Electronic texts are also beginning to proliferate, though these are produced primarily in Europe and North America, or in cooperation with institutions in the West. TIBETAN STUDIES RESEARCH AT COLUMBIA In 1998, at the urging of the Chinese Studies Librarian, a new line for Tibetan-language materials was approved for the C.V. Starr East Asian Library, and Columbia University now holds the most extensive academic research library collection outside of China. With nearly 15,000 volumes of Tibetan-language print materials, subscription to 13,000 electronic volumes via the Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center (TBRC) Core Text Collections, and important archival collections, the Tibetan Studies Collection actively serves the faculty and students of Columbia University, and elsewhere. In particular, our collection seeks to support the academic offerings of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, the initiatves of the Modern Tibetan Studies Program of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, under the leadership of Dr. Robert Barnett, and the continued development of classical Tibetan religious studies centered in the Religion Department. In 2005, research and coursework in the history of Tibet was expanded with the appointment of Dr. Gray Tuttle, the Leila Hadley Luce Associate Professor of Modern Tibet. Accordingly, the Library has worked to enrich its collections with a vast store of local histories and genealogies, many acquired in the field. Columbia University is arguably the only university in North America with a full-time professional librarian fully dedicated to Tibetan collection, cataloging and reference at an academic institution. Dr. Lauran Hartley has worked in this position since 2007 to continue building the depth and breadth of Columbia's Tibetan Studies Collection, to serve as reference for faculty and students at Columbia and elsewhere, and to contribute records in WorldCat for Tibetan materials acquired outside of the SACAP program. COLLECTION SCOPE AND STRENGTHS The Tibetan Studies Collection at Columbia University has been growing steadily, and now comprises nearly 15,000 volumes of Tibetan-language texts. In addition to titles received in bulk through SACAP (successor to the PL480 program), the Starr Library actively orders titles published in Tibetan regions of China, and from commercial vendors covering India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and other areas. The Starr Library also actively collect Chinese and Western-language materials on Tibetan-related subjects. A growing strength of the Tibetan Studies Collection at Columbia, aside from its holdings which are the most comprehensive in North America, is our effort to preserve and make accessible rare documents for the study of Tibetan history since the 17th century, as well as several important archival collections. The Library also collects material objects, such as traditional Tibetan writing and accounting implements, for the study of Tibetan cultural history. For more detail, please see Special Collections.

T.100 別譯雜阿含 project - Buddhist Informatics @ Dharma Drum Buddhist College The Digital Comparative Edition of the Bieyi za ahan jing 別譯雜阿含經 (BZA) is a project undertaken by the Dharma Drum Buddhist College 法鼓佛教研修學院 and funded by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange 蔣經國國際學術交流基金會. This comparative digital edition: - provides new punctuation for the BZA and the Za ahan jing 雜阿含經 (ZA) sutras - corrects and documents mistakes in previous editions - distinguishes and visualizes parallel and non-parallel passages between the BZA and other Chinese and Pāli versions, enabling the user to conveniently compare the different texts of a cluster - refines and expands the contents of the 364 text clusters - provides an annotated English translation of selected sections of the BZA - enables statistical linguistic analysis by creating aligned parallel corpora (not online) - is extensible and allows for further material to be added - provides a basis for future digital editions of Buddhist literature with regard to markup and content management. The Bieyi za ahan jing 別譯雜阿含經 (BZA) consists of 364 sutras and belongs to the early Chinese Buddhist texts collectively called Ahan (Āgama) sutras 阿含經. Ahan literature constitutes the earliest stratum of Buddhist literature. The originals (in Buddhist Sanskrit) are largely lost, only a few fragments have survived. Next to the Chinese tradition only the Theravāda tradition has preserved a comprehensive set of these sutras in Pāli. While the Nikāyas, as the Ahan sutras are called the Theravāda tradition, have been extensively studied and fully translated into English, Japanese and German, there are extremely few translations or critical editions of the Chinese Ahan sutras. Generally, all of the 364 short sutras contained the BZA have at least one parallel in Chinese and one Pāli parallel (with commentary). Often there are several parallels in Chinese and Pāli, at times even a fragment in Buddhist Sanskrit[1] has survived. This project has created a digital comparative edition of the BZA, which connects these text-clusters. The source files of the edition are freely available. Moreover, we have studied several aspects of the text and translated parts of the BZA into English with extensive annotation.[2] Textbase for the Chinese is the CBETA edition, for the Pāli data the Vipassana Research Institute has kindly granted us permission to use the text of the Chaṭṭha Saṅgāyana CD. The markup of the XML files uses the encoding scheme of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) which is transformed into HTML for the user.[3] The markup expresses the basic dialogic structure of the content, names, differentiates between prose and verse parts, and connects them to the authoritative printed versions. For the Pāli and longer Chinese parallels the markup distinguishes between larger parallel and non-parallel passages. Each of the 364 BZA sutras is presented within a cluster of its parallels. All texts within a cluster are linked through a comparative catalog. Middleware between the source files and the user application is eXist, a native XML database. The end-user selects the cluster s/he wants to view online and can further select which of the texts in the cluster to display, in a two- or three column layout. The project was started in summer 2005 and concluded in autumn 2008.
