Sikhi.io ↗Use each work’s source record to check its creator, date, edition and rights. Translation and restoration are distinct from the original source. AI-assisted material can contain errors; compare it with the original before relying on it for research. Disputed attribution should remain identified as disputed.
Research and recovery →Send the page URL, the passage or record in question, your proposed correction and supporting sources. For contributed images or documents, include provenance and any rights information you hold. Please identify whether you are sharing an original, a reproduction, a translation or a restoration.
Submit a correction or source →Named contributors and their public projects are listed below. Catalogue figures describe reported holdings and should be read with their review dates; they are not a claim that every item has received scholarly review.
Manuscripts can be lost. Servers can disappear.
The archive’s answer is an enduring record: the complete Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji preserved on the Arweave permaweb.
Restored by SikhArchive · 2026
Our restoration makes the source reproduction easier to view while keeping its catalogue history in reach. The historical artist and dating remain disputed; generated details may differ from the original.
@jsdosanj · Co-founded with Sikhi.io. He built and maintains the Sikh Library AI Project, published openly on Hugging Face using the Sikhi.io core methodology; the archive’s digitised corpus forms the bulk of its research material.
@gurpreet-fe · Built and maintains the Mahan Kosh Multilingual Project. The whole dictionary packaged as an open dataset: downloadable, citable, and licensed for reuse. 64,218 entries live, 26 languages, one JSON file per language (≈430 MB on disk), licensed CC BY 4.0. Source text public domain (1930); the machine-translated languages have not been reviewed by native speakers or subject scholars, a limitation recorded in the dataset’s own licence file.
Self-funded at its outset, now sustained in part by dasvand. No advertising. No paywalls. No fee to the reader.
Translators, historians, developers and readers all have a place in this undertaking.
