abstract = "South Asia Archive is a large primary source digital collection of South Asian historic materials from the 1700s to 1950s. It includes materials related to most subjects, with most sources in English and some in languages including Hindi and Bangla/Bengali. The archive was originally
organized by the South Asia Research Foundation (SARF); in 2021, Coherent Digital purchased rights to the collection from Taylor & Francis (T&F) and has since migrated it to their award-winning Commons platform. The archive's new platform is well designed, easily navigable, and mobile
responsive, and it offers improved metadata and content organization. It includes useful features such as an e-reader with full-text search, additional manual and AI-powered indexing, and more advanced search options. South Asia Archive is available as a one-time purchase of perpetual rights,
with a standard license. Prices range from $36,000 to $72,000, and consortia discounts are available.",
