Mongolian Materials

The project has created a catalogue of the Mongolian block prints and manuscripts at the British Library in XML format (MASTER), including extensive quotes and detailed descriptions (both physical and of the content), cross references to other catalogues and subject headings from colophons and other relevant passages in Mongolian language.

The British Library has acquired through the Endangered Archives scheme a substantial amount of Mongolian materials from the Danzann Ravjaa Collection which have been added to the BL collection and together will form the basis for the Union Catalogue of Mongolian Resources.
