Libraries & Archives in South Asia (LASA) is a collaborative effort to compile a guide to South Asian libraries and archives for academics and researchers in the humanities and social sciences. LASA contains detailed information about libraries and archives in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It aims to become a full-fledged portal to research in South Asia, for the scholarly community and by the scholarly community.

Many of the more than 900 entries in LASA have been submitted by users themselves. Previously, new entries and additional information for existing entries could be added by users directly through the website. We hope to return to that model in the future. However, for the time being, if you would like to have a library or archive included in LASA, or would like to suggest additional information or an edit to an entry, please email us at webmaintainer@dsal.uchicago.edu
