“...Michael Palin Scholarship recipientJoe Pearson Woodand the Alan Entwistle Digitisation Project, generously funded by you. Having now been back at SOAS for more than half a year, Joe is fully immersed in his two-year Master's course in Intensive South Asian Studies. It is clear from his statement that without the support that the Michael Palin Scholarship has offered him, he would have had great difficulty returning to SOAS to further his studies.

During the 1970s and 1980s the VRI project, now supported by the International Association of the Vrindaban Research Institute, drew in other SOAS specialists in Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Sanskrit and Persian.

Others were taken by the SOAS PhD student David Crawford, Gerry Losty of the British Library, and Paul Fox, the SOAS photographer. The digitisation programme uses these images and the descriptions Entwistie wrote of each image, updated with searchable Hindi and geographic data. Entwistie went on to build a career as a scholar and teacher of Hindi language and literature and Indian c...”

“...accessing the collection can use the 'MAP IT!' feature and dynamic map to see where items relate to one another and fit within the bigger picture. As a direct result of this project, users could therefore use the digital images and interactive map to put their own tour together, guided by the images and information online. Students, academics and amateur enthusiasts can tailor their use of the digitized collection to support their individual needs. Brill Publishers, who hold the rights to Alan Entwistle's monograph, have agreed to place the monograph in the public domain. This means that in due course. Dr Entwistle's text and maps will also be brought to life in the same way. Finally, a key feature of this collection is language. Every photo's description records key data in English and Hindiand some also support Tamil, Telagu and Urdu. It was vitally important to us that the collection be easily searchable and usable by English and non- English speakers alike. To this end, a fully...”
