ACIP, which began their input of Tibetan Buddhist canonical materials over ten years ago, has now input over 100,000 pages, with the rate of input steadily increasing. Most recent of their accomplishments, is the completion and distribution of a CD-ROM which includes the St. Petersburg Catalog. Their goals include the digitizing of all Tibetan Buddhist texts along with commentaries, which includes the location and cataloging of important texts and the dissemination of materials for scholarly use. They have recently developed a basic user interface, including search functions.
Many of ACIP's electronic Tibetan texts can be found at ftp://acip.princeton.edu/pub.
To see what is available there, first look at the ACIP titles catalog ftp://acip.princeton.edu/pub/cdrom_releases/release3/cd/acipdocs/titles/r1000f.acm.
Texts can be located by ACIP catalog number, or by subject, author, or title under ftp://acip.princeton.edu/pub/cdrom_releases/release3/cd/texts/.
