Self-description: "This is our first major text release in five years. During this time, we have concentrated largely on accumulating new materials, much of which is slated to be released in the near future. The new material on this release includes more than 100,000 catalog entries of works held at the libraries in St. Petersburg; 35,000 catalog entries of works held in libraries in Mongolia; as well as some of the newly qualified and catalogued Tengyur works, listed by volume. Finally for the first time, this release includes English translations of some of the texts, for the benefit of our supporters who don't yet understand the Tibetan language. In future releases, we hope to expand this effort to include all of the languages into which our staff has translated this material."
