Description: The 26 volumes of The Imperial Gazetteer of India published in 1908 or 1909 when Burma was administered as part of India, are a major source of information about Burma. The most accessible online sources of the Gazetteer we have found are Archive.org, Osmania University Digital Library and Chicago University?s Digital South Asia Library. We have mainly used the versions at Archive.org, but since these are rather large files, we have reduced them using Finereader Pro 11 Optical Character Recognition software. We produced two ?OBL versions” of each volume, one with a crisp text of 3-4MB containing numerous digitisation errors, mostly figures, accents, transliteration symbols and tables (we did some light editing, but with a total of about 12,000 pages, detailed editing was beyond our capacity); and one of 12-16MB with fuzzier text but with less errors. The smaller files, some of which are taken direct from the Osmania University collection, can be opened and searched more easily, but if greater accuracy is needed, use the larger OBL versions or the original scans. These can be accessed via the links provided to Archive.org or the DSAL, which has read-only versions organised by volume and chapter and an overall search engine... The editions used here are those of 1908 or 1909. The online collections at Osmania University Digital Library and Archive.org also contain the editions of 1886
