On Friday 22nd June, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet visited the
National Library of Scotland here in Edinburgh.
He had requested a private viewing of some of our collections, including archives of Isabella Bird Bishop and also some
Medical History of British India items.
On this page from His Holiness’s website Jan Usher, Head of Official Publications and one of the founders of the project, shows His Holiness a photograph from 1894 of Indian mendicants in the Report of the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission.
