Starr Logo Tibetan Resources on the Web



There are hundreds of sites relating to things Tibetan on the web. The majority reflect the point of view of the government in exile. Sources with a Chinese point of view can be found by checking Starr's list of Chinese websites, some of which have regional sub-headings. The following list is by no means inclusive -- just a few of the more important and interesting picks. If your favorite is not here, send a suggestion to starr@libraries.cul.columbia.edu.
