“...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. We are
very pleased with his progress thus far and look forward to keeping
up with his development over the coming months.
The Alan Entwistle Digitisation project is now complete with the
materials published online for all to access and enjoy. Enclosed in
this reportand featuring on the front coverare some of the
images that have been digitized thanks to your donation.
I hope you enjoy reading about Joe's experiences so far as a
postgraduate student at SOAS, and the progress of the Alan
Entwistle Digitisation Project.
Thank you again for your support...”

background material for the slides.
We have also located a large collection of
photographic prints and two 8 millimetre films
dating from the 1970s from the same project,
which we are processing in the same way.
Adrian visited the site in questionVrindaban
earlier in the year, armed with a set of images for
which we lacked captions or descriptions, and
consulted scholars there.
Update from Erich Kesse, Digital Library
Project Officer
The full Entwistle collection narrative now resides
online and can be accessed by visiting this web
page: http://digital.soas.ac.uk/braj/
Items can be searched by topic, geographic area,
type, or key word, or browsed on the interactive
map that has been developed.
This map interface has been developed so each
item can be contextualised and placed
geographically in the area. Each digitised item has
a unique geographic reference.
Any user accessing the collection can use the
'MAP IT!' feature and dynamic map...”
