The Sakya Monastery in tibet has a library comprising some 84,000 books. Most are Buddhist scriptures, but there are works of literature, history, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, and art. They date back centuries.
In 2011 they began to digitize the library. All books are indexed and about 20% have been fully digitized.
