All our current members will be get access to these databases.

  Color parabaik or paper folded manuscripts are extremely rare. We have digitize almost all the collection of Universities Central Library, Universities Research Centre, Archaeology Department and National Library. Moreover, color parabaiks from private collection are also.
  Two main sections are present in this database as follows:

Physical description, archaeology, history, races, geography, geology and administration of these districts were prepared by British District Officers during the colonial period and up to now these reports are the only source of information available to study on these districts. Rare gazetteer like “Gazetteer of Upper Burma and Shan State” by Sir George Scott is also present in this database.
     
4 More Records to Traditional Myanmar Manuscript Database
  Over 1,000 records will be uploaded to our current "Traditional Myanmar Manuscript Database". All these records are collected from black parabaiks from Central Myanmar.
   
5 More e-Books and e-articles
  Myanmar Book Centre has signed with many copy right holders (both publishers and authors) and got exclusive online reseller rights. Many e-Books and e-articles will be uploading on our current databases for our members.
     
Because of these further investments by our company, we are unable to continue with our current membership subscription rate. We had reviewed our membership subscription rate as follows:
1. For individual scholar/researcher : US$ 100 p.a
2. For institution : US$ 500 p.a
These revised rates will be started to effect from future registration from August onwards. As for current members, there will be no extra charge until the termination of current membership program.
Above mentioned rates are just covering part of our investment. But, we are trying our best to fulfill our members' requirement with most reasonable price.
We do hope that the above mentioned price meet your requirement. We will also commit to give more contents to our members in the coming years.
Thanking you in advance and hope to hear from you soon.
With best regards,
Dr. Thant Thaw Kaung
