ACMS Digital Collections

The ACMS library is currently working to build its digital collections of materials relevant to academic research in Mongolia. The geographic isolation of Mongolia and the dispersed quality of the academic community doing research in Mongolia and Inner Asia makes the digitization of primary and secondary research sources an important aspect of the ACMS library's core activities.

Digitalized Legal Texts of Outer Mongolia and the People's Republic of Mongolia
ImageThe ACMS is developed the collection that contains nearly 1,600 digital scans of laws and regulations written in Mongol script, and it covers an interesting array of topics from the Mongolian People's Republic constitution to regulations about harvesting pine cone seeds. The project received support from the US Department of Education TICFIA program under the Local Archives and Libraries at Overseas Research Centers (LALORC) project. To view the collection, visit http://archive.mongoliacenter.org/.

One project is in progress, and it should be completed some time in the near future.

Muslim Minorities in Inner Asia Lecture Series
Edited video of a lecture given as part of the " Muslim Minorities in Inner Asia Lecture Series." The lecture series was made possible with a grant from theCouncil of American Overseas Research Centers(CAORC) and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

ACMS Speaker Series Video Footage
In the spring of 2007, the ACMS began recording its Speaker Series lectures. These will eventually be available on the Internet.

 
ACMS Installs New Digital Laboratory

ImageImageWith funds from TICFIA, the ACMS purchased and installed new software and hardware to digitize sutras provided by the Tod Nomiin Gerel group. The high quality photos and the associated metadata (collected using international Dublin Core standards) will be uploaded via the Omeka system and presented on a specially designed web-page portal. When complete, these freely available samples of sutras in Clear Script, Mongol Bichig and Tibetan Script can be used by specialists all over the world for translation exercises, analysis of original translations (from Tibetan to Clear Script) and other historical analysis. Tuvshintugs of the Mongolian National Academy of Sciences is the Project Leader.
