SIDDHAM or the Asia Inscriptions Database is an open-access resource for the study of inscriptions from Asia. SIDDHAM was established by the European Research Council with start-up funding from the project Beyond Boundaries: Religion, Region, Language and the State. The first focus of SIDDHAM was Sanskrit epigraphy, mainly of the fourth, fifth and sixth centuries CE, but the platform is designed to accommodate inscriptions from all periods and regions. The corpus is vast: in South Asia alone, the estimated number of historic inscriptions is 90,000.
