Buddhist Archive of Photography, Luang Prabang, Laos | Southeast Asia Library Group (SEALG) The Buddhist archive of photography, Luang Prabang, Laos<http://eap.bl.uk/database/results.a4d?projID=EAP326;r=41>, is most certainly the largest online photobase documenting the recent history of Buddhism in Laos. The digitisation of the original photographs found in Luang Prabang was supported by the British Library's Endangered Archives Programme<http://eap.bl.uk/pages/about.html>. Coming from more than 20 distinct monastery collections, this unique view from inside documents 120 years of monastic life and ritual, pilgrimage, monks' portraits, history and social life. Important historic and political events of an agitated century in Laos at the same time appear as in a mirror: French colonialism, the Royal court, civil war, the Indochina and Vietnam wars, revolution and socialist rule. Quantity and quality of the material are as surprising as is the fact that it was produced in a city as isolated as Luang Prabang. http://bit.ly/1ngpXcK Source: http://southeastasianlibrarygroup.wordpress.com/2014/03/11/buddhist-archive-of-photography-luang-prabang-laos/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1ngpXcK+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
