Historical Documents of Pre-modern Nepal

Search, explore, and study thousands of documents, manuscripts,
inscriptions and digital editions from across historic Nepal

The Authority File is a curated register of selected persons, places, regions, and organizations mentioned in the documents edited on this platform. Unlike the Attestations, which record every occurrence as it appears in a given text, entries here represent a single, disambiguated identity, bringing together variant name forms, dates, genealogical and institutional relationships, and other historical details drawn from across the corpus. Where possible, entries are linked to established external authorities (GND, VIAF, Wikidata, and GeoNames), situating the persons and places of pre-modern Nepal within the broader landscape of linked open data.
