As the Poetry of South Asia collection goes live to the public, we want to shine a light on the incredible community of volunteers who’ve made this vast project possible.
From our transcribers who have painstakingly brought poem texts into digital form, to our website researchers who have uncovered the histories behind the poetry that makes up this collection, and to our biographers who have helped us tell the stories of the poets themselves—this archive is a collective effort, built on passion, care, and countless hours of thoughtful work.
To all our volunteers: thank you. Your contributions ensure that the rich and diverse poetic traditions of South Asia are preserved, celebrated, and shared with the world.
