Project Objectives
This second phase of the Clay Sanskrit Library sets out to achieve the following goals:
- Publication of a compendium to lay before a wide readership the riches of Sanskrit literature as contained in the 56-volume Clay Sanskrit Library (CSL), in the context of the visual riches of the Bodleian’s Indian collection, bringing out the inter-relationship between the two modes of expression http://www.claysanskritlibrary.org/compendium.php
- Run Outreach projects with schools and practitioner communities to promote awareness of the collection and the relevance of Classical Indian literature to a modern audience
