National Digital Library & Repository
This is a project of the National Library and Documentation Services Board. The collection contains many sets of official publications, including Government Gazettes from 1889-1963 and 2016-2018, the Police Weekly Circular (1889-1906), the Ceylon Police Gazette (1907-1909), Administration Reports of the National Library from 1970-2017, the Ceylon/Sri Lanka National Bibliography from 1962-2020, and newspapers in English, Sinhala, and Tamil from 2020 to 2021. Particularly rich categories include books by Kaṭukurunde Ñāṇananda Maha Thera, as well as the eclectic group of “Rare Books,” which contains works in both English and Sinhala. One can browse the “rare books” by title or date, though the indexes provide no other bibliographical information. There is also a collection on “Intangible Cultural Heritage,” which includes many recordings of Sinhala poetry, although without bibliographic data.
