This dataset forms the triple-checked diplomatic transcriptions of the Ground Truth for the PaganTibet HTR models "Ume 1" and "Ume 2", which can be used free of charge through the Transkribus platform. This dataset is part of the PaganTibet collection, managed by Rachael Griffiths and Marieke Meelen.

Accompanying images and full eTexts will be made available through the BDRC's BUDA platform.
