Tamil Culture, volumes 1–12

About this holding / இப்பதிவு பற்றி
Tamil Culture was the English-language quarterly of Tamil studies that Thani Nayagam founded and edited through volumes 1–12 (1952–1966). The Internet Archive packages a bound scan of those volumes (4,768 leaves) under the item Tamil Culture by Xavier Thaninayagam Adigalar Volume 1–12.
This page is a finding aid, not a continuous reprint of that bound set. Many articles in the scan are by other contributors; the links below focus on Thani Nayagam’s essays that have been re-OCR’d and lightly cleaned for on-site reading.
