Burmese Encyclopedia

The Burmese Encyclopedia (Burmese: မြန်မာ့ စွယ်စုံကျမ်း) is an encyclopedia published by the Burma Translation Society under the direction of former Burmese Prime Minister U Nu. The project began in 1947, and the first volume was later published via Stephen Austin & Sons Ltd, Hertford, Great Britain. Each of the fifteen volumes has approximately 500 pages. The last volume of the first edition was published in 1976,[1] and was followed by yearly updates.

After the 1962 military coup of General Ne Win,[2] the editing and publication of the Encyclopedia came to a halt. Yearly one additional cyclopedia book was published by the Burma Translation Society.

The online Burmese Wikipedia contains content that is mostly re-type from the original Burmese Encyclopedia.
