The students at Portland State University, along with the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS), are currently working on our Himalayan Calendar for 2005. The theme and photographs for next year is to be drawn from peoples and landscapes of the Tibetan world.

Tibetan Peoples and Landscapes, 2005, like our first calendar, Journey to High Asia, 2004, joins photographs contributed by artists from all over the world with maps and text intended to answer the questions evoked by each month's photograph. The goal of the calendars is to deepen understanding of the landscapes, lives, and issues of High Asia, and to foster appreciation and tolerance for far-away peoples and places. We want calendar users to share the exploration and discovery experienced by the PSU seniors who created this calendar, and to find the photographs to be springboards to deeper awareness, as we did.
