How This Website Was Created

The data has been collected and most photos were taken for the Lhasa Archive Project by THF's André Alexander, Pimpim de Azevedo, Yutaka Hirako, John Harrison or other THF staff unless otherwise credited. Andrew Brannan and André Alexander developed the prototype of the interactive map of Lhasa, digitized with the additional help of Moritz Wermelskirch in 1994, and updated by Ken Okuma and Yoshiaki Tada using Quark Express, MiniCAD, AutoCAD and Adobe Illustrator programs.

You can help us by sending pictures of Lhasa or of other Tibetan or related buildings anywhere in the world.

The first THF website was hosted in 1998 by Asian Arts (link) thanks to Ian Alsop. The current website concept and structure was developed by mrtz, THF, Tomoaki Takeda and Kazuho Oka. mrtz, Kazuho and Tomoaki Takeda did most of the programming work. Ken Okuma, Lundup and Nyima Tsering did most of the digitizing work.

THF apologizes for mistakes and imperfections, and appreciates if any shortcomings (either factual or technical) are pointed out to us.
