The Myanmar Manuscript Digital Library (MMDL) is hosted by the University of Toronto and supported by Robarts Library. MMDL brings together and makes manuscripts and rare print editions available online from individual libraries throughout Myanmar.

MMDL is the platform for an ongoing digitizing project, initiated and conducted by William Pruitt and an international team of Myanmar and Pali scholars. We have been supported, since 2012, by the Pali Text Society. MMDL is also supported by Yumi Ousaka of the Sendai National College of Technology, the KDDI Foundation, the Mitsubishi Foundation, the CARI Foundation, and JSPS Kakenhi.
