Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, Buddhist research library in Dharamsala, India

The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives maintains a collection of 80,000 manuscripts, books, and documents covering Tibetan literature and Buddhist teachings.

The 14th Dalai Lama established this institution in 1970 to preserve Tibetan texts and artifacts relocated from Tibet following the 1959 exodus.

The library contains 600 thangka paintings, traditional Buddhist statues, and a wooden three-dimensional Avalokiteshvara mandala displayed in its museum section.

Scholars and researchers can access reading rooms, digital archives, and participate in workshops focusing on Tibetan studies between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

The facility houses numerous manuscripts dating to the 12th century and maintains partnerships with international institutions to digitize Tibetan literature globally.
