Tod Nomin Gerel Collection of Mongolia Manuscripts

Overview

From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: Tod Nomin Gerel and the Digital Library for International Research provide digitization of hand-made Buddhist manuscripts written in both Oirat clear script and Mongolian old script. Being able to access the scant information that exists on Oirat culture and history, in their own voice, provides important insights into this little understood but important transition area, and into the religious, literary, linguistic, and historical cultural heritage of the Western Mongols within a greater ‘Khalkha’ Mongolia.
