The edited volume Frontier Tibet: Patterns of Change in the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands (2019) is the last publication in the framework of this ERC project, and it includes a series of maps that we provide here in higher resolution than what was possible in the print or PDf (open-access) versions of the book.
The maps are made available here under the same Creative Common license (BY-ND-NC) as the book. Please attribute and provide full references. (These are large files, allow some time for them to load after you click on the image.)
