Thai collection

Thai collection The collection covers all subject areas, and is especially strong in the fields of humanities and social sciences. Collection profile has always been focused on materials with research value/interest; having said that we have and been maintained a good range of popular publications for general interest as well. There is an extensive collection of Thai cremation volumes (memorial biographical works published to mark a notable person’s death). The collection also holds three sets of Tripitaka, the principal Buddhist scriptures, in different versions. One of these was a gift from His Majesty, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, of Thailand. The collection also consists of highly usedful research materials, such as statistical publications, for example Siam or Kingdom of Thailand Year Book, and Royal Thai Government Gazette.

Thai cremation volumes

Our Cremation Volume Collection In the NLA Thai collection we have around 3000 titles reflecting more than 4000 volumes, continuously acquiring since the 1960s. The earliest volume we have was published in 1910, this particular volume was printed “on the occasion of the cremation of His Majesty King Chulalonkorn”ใ  We actively acquire cremation volumes quickly after they are produced; they are not sold commercially but acquired through dedicated dealers who are assisting us to build this cultural resource.  You can search for Cremation Volumes online in the NLA catalogue using the name of the deceased. Recently acquired volumes (from 2007) are catalogued in Thai for easy searching, otherwise you will need to search using romanised spelling; searching with the romanisation can be awkward ALA-LC  Romanization Table, so please feel free to ask for assistance from the library staff they will be happy to assist you personally.
