Hopkins Research Archive

The Hopkins Archive was begun in 1968 with reel-to-reel
magnetic tape on an Uher portable recorder. Since then the
media has changed but the archive is still maintained. It
now consists of over three thousand hours of authentic
oral transmission on many scholarly and cultural aspects
of Tibetan Buddhism, including many traditional Buddhist
philosophical topics, Tibetan medicine, Tibetan history,
and so forth. The archive includes four hundred hours of
teachings by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and thousands of
hours of teachings by numerous lamas of the last
generation of Buddhist scholars to be thoroughly trained
in Tibet.
