 The audio collection is largely on audio tapes, and is not actively collected, even though Dr. Allyn Miner continues to lead the first and only performing arts component attached to a South Asia Studies department in the United States.We do acquire material largely on request.Till the landscape of copyright regulations and reformatting is understood, and until issues of stability and reliability of media formats in South Asia are addressed, video and audio acquisitions continue to be ad hoc and driven by demand only.
