Aims & Scope
Himalaya, formerly known as The Himalayan Research Bulletin (HRB) has two central functions: first, to promote understanding and appreciation of the region through the publication and support of original research and other important work; and, second, to review scholarship, research, and other information of interest to members of The Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies and other Himalayanists.
Himalaya is a peer-reviewed publication and publishes original articles, short reports on research, , book reviews, reports of meetings, dissertation abstracts, professional announcements, photographs, and other interesting information from any and all fields relevant to the Himalayan areas of Asia.
Himalaya serves the needs of a diverse group of subscribers in the United States and around the world; the journal is included in the collections of fifty major libraries in the United States, Asia, and Europe. The journal has developed from a mimeographed newsletter into its present form - as the major international journal for the region - through the efforts of its volunteer editors, the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS) Council, and members who provide much of the material for each issue.
The ANHS welcomes tax-deductible contributions to sustain and expand its outreach efforts.
