The ABIA Project

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.

ABIA Index

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).

History

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.

Open access to ancient South Asia?

Spurred by a comment Steve Farmer made on the Indo-Eurasian_research list, I began to wonder what open access resources there are for the study of ancient South Asia. I know of the Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies, and of the central place INDOLOGY: Resources for Indological Scholarship plays as a clearing house for such material. There is, of course, the Digital South Asia Library. What else is there?
