Recently I noticed that the University of Bonn (Germany) has digitized its own archive of Tibetan documents including a collection of more than 1.000 seals starting from 14th century to the more modern times of the last century. The collection also considers some seals of Nepalese traders operating in Tibet.

Not being sure if the members of the forum are already familiar with this collection of seals, nonetheless I would report - even at the risk of doing something of unnecessary - the corresponding web address: http://www.dtab.uni-bonn.de/tibdoc/index1.htm

Herbert,

I am aware of that site and used the site previously for some Research. Unfortunately, the collection and presentation I find "highly scientific"... and very difficult to use for Research.
