Digital Resources
Not suprisingly, we recommend our own publisher - the Tibetan and Himalayan Digital Library (www.thdl.org) in general as a place to begin. It has excellent resources on Tibetan places, but also other resources on Tibetan Buddhism, medicine, music and more.

- Tibet Outside the TAR by Steven Marshall and Susette Cooke (available through ICT, Washington DC; www.savetibet.org)
