Overview
South Asia Archive is a landmark collection of 4.5 million pages from across the Indian subcontinent from 1700 to 1953, originally collected by the South Asian Research Foundation (SARF). It’s the largest collection of books, journals, and documents from the region, covering India, Pakistan, Burma, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. While the vast majority of the content is presented in English language, and thus allows global access to rare research material on South Asian history, the collection also includes documents in in vernacular (circa 15%), predominantly Bengali and Sanskrit.
