ABIA: South and Southeast Asian Art and Archaeology Index
The ABIA project is a global network of
scholars co-operating on an annotated bibliographic database for
publishers covering South and Southeast Asian art and archaeology. The
project was launched in 1997 at the initiative of the International Institute for Asian Studies
in Leiden, the Netherlands, in colloaboration with international
scholars and Asian academic institutes. The project receives scientific
support from UNESCO.
The database ABIA South and Southeast Asian Art and Archaeology Index is fully searchable and is freely accessible. Extracts from the database are also available in the form of printed bibliographies.
The ABIA Index is a bibliographic database on South and Southeast
Asian art and archaeology compiled by an international team of
specialists. ABIA index supplies annotated and indexed entries on
scholarly publications in Asian and European languages relating to
prehistory, (proto)historical archaeology, art history (including modern
art), material culture, epigraphy, palaeography, numismatics and
sigillography. The ABIA Index continues the old Annual Bibliography of
Indian Archaeology (ABIA).
The first issue of the Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology
was published in Leiden in 1928 under the direction of the reknowned
Sanskrit scholar and archaeologist, Prof. Jean Philippe Vogel. Its
utility and importance made ABIA an impressive bibliographic series with a publication run over 50 years. Thanks to the support of the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS), the Jan Gonda Foundation in Amsterdam and the Faculty of Arts of the Universiteit Leiden, ABIA was re-launched in 1997 as the globally networked ABIA Index.
