Projects range between short cataloguing improvements to multi-year cross-departmental sponsorships and are critical to the IDP\u2019s mission of advancing the learning and access achieved through the online platform. Previous Projects have included the Lotus Sutra Project, which conserved and digitised nearly 800 manuscripts in the British Library\u2019s collection, and the Tibetan Manuscript Digitisation Project, which digitised around 300 manuscripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in funding a Project of any size at the British Library, please contact <a href=\"mailto:supporters@bl.uk\">supporters@bl.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:65px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sponsor-a-sutra\">Sponsor a Sutra<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The British Library\u2019s Sponsor a Sutra programme is currently accepting donations to assist with digitisation work. Just as donors in the past paid a scribe to copy Buddhist texts in memory of loved ones or to distribute merit, the IDP&#8217;s Sponsor a Sutra Scheme enables anyone today to support the digitization of a sutra in the British Library&#8217;s collection and add your dedicatory message. This will be added below the image on the database, just as donor names and messages previously appeared at the end of manuscripts and at the bottom of paintings. Sponsors can select material based on a range of factors, including price, subject matter, or staff need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a list of objects ready to be digitised and further information on the Sponsor a Sutra programme, please reach out to <a href=\"mailto:adoptabook@bl.uk\">adoptabook@bl.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:65px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"donations\">Donations<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>We accept direct donations to assist with conservation, digitisation and administrative work.
