NEWS FROM THE INSTITUTE OF LADAKH STUDIES
The Institute of Ladakh Studies thanks the following members of the International Association for
Ladakh Studies for their generous donation of books and articles for the Moorcroft Library: John
Bray, Pascale Dollfus, Joseph Fox, Jean Michaud, Henry Osmaston, Mark Trewin, Rohit Vohra, and
the editors of Recent Research on Ladakh nos. 7 and 8. We hope that their example will inspire
other members to donate material.
We are also grateful to all who took out membership at the Ninth Colloquium, and are glad to report
that these included several local scholars.
We’re still struggling along with no more funds than we’ve been able to collect by way of
subscriptions. But a grant-in-aid from the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Leh, is
said to be in the pipeline; and as soon as we get our clearance from the Income Tax Department, I
hope to start fundraising in earnest.

Please note that the ILS is a separate initiative without formal links to the IALS. Its activities and
aims are complementary to ours and we wish the Institute well. (Ed.)
