An inventory of the South Asian Pamphlets Collection at Duke University has been published online. The majority of the pamphlets were published between 1950 and 2000, but a few date from the 1920s-1940s. They were acquired through the Library of Congress South Asia Cooperative Acquisitions programme (SACAP).
Arranged by country of publication, they number over 7,500, with the highest number (177 boxes) originating from India, 58 boxes from Pakistan, 15 boxes from Bangladesh and 8 boxes from Nepal. Smaller collections are held for Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
The majority of pamphlets were published by organizations or agencies and cover agriculture, the arts, economic development, education, industry and commerce, international relations, politics and government, religion and philosophy, rural development, tourism and women.
The pamphlets may be scanned on request to service remote research requests. For further information, see: http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/rbmscl/southasianpams/inv/
