Working together with the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, Columbia University Libraries Digital Collections have digitized 97 issues of the Tibet Mirror. This remarkable publication was issued from 1925 to 1963 in Kalimpong and "chronicles the most dramatic social and political transformation in Tibet." The paper relayed information about World War II, the independence of India, and other global news to Tibetan readers. Visitors to the site can read through all of the issues at their leisure and should feel free to download entire PDF files for their own consultation. There are a few gaps in the publication years here, but overall it is a tremendous resource.
