Further Support
Further Support was provided by the Pali Text Society under whose academic guidance the project was conducted. With Robarts Library at the University of Toronto committed to hosting the archive in perpetuity, the responsibility of establishing, curating, upgrading, and potentially expanding the collection lies with the UofT’s faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as with postdocs and alumnae and alumni working on Burmese, Pali, and Mon at this leading Canadian institution.
