The project 'Oral History of Tibetan Studies' collects the oral memories of those who contributed to the establishment of Tibetology and Himalayan Studies as a recognized and independent academic field of study. In our interviews, we explore two questions: the development of the discipline itself and the diverse life stories of the individuals involved. We also view the material as an archive of valuable historical information that would not otherwise have been recorded.
