Do you happen to read Tibetan? There's a fascinating ongoing project in Tibet that is digitizing all 84,000 artworks, manuscripts, and books held in an ancient and remote monastery library to make the Buddhist scriptures, literature, and art and science works available to scholars.

@JD_Cunningham @futurebird They’re published under a CC BY-NC-SA license, but they include the statement, “Apart from spelling corrections, no other additions or deletions are to be made to the text.”

Does this mean they don’t allow translations of the texts to be published?

@ramsey @futurebird That's an interesting question and one I'd love to know the answer to.

@ajaykaul10 Thanks for this. It sounds like a challenging language to learn.
