The Tibetan-Mongolian Rare Books and Manuscripts (TMRBM) project aims to document, consolidate, catalogue and make accessible the rare Tibetan and Mongolian books in the University Library, Cambridge, the Bodleian Library, Oxford and the British Library in London, with focus on the collection acquired during the Younghusband Mission to Tibet in 1903–4.
Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) under its Resource Enhancement Scheme, the project is administered by the Mongolia & Inner Asia Sudies Unit (MIASU) within the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge in collaboration with scholars and institutions in the UK, US, Europe, Bhutan, Nepal and China.
