This project studied and documented the Higgins Armory Museum's holdings of South Asian arms and armor of India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, with an emphasis on India while researching their historical, cultural, technological, and military context. The project designed a web-based resource to make information on these artifacts accessible to a global audience. A searchable database within the website contains information and color photos of the South Asian collection.
