​Websites 

The following websites provide useful information about Luang Prabang heritage and culture 
buddhist-archive.org/ is the website of the Buddhist Archives based at Vat Khilli. Founded in 2005 they have catalogued an amazing collection of 35,000 photographs taken and collected by Luang Prabang's monks over 120 years. Their work also includes the preservation and documentation of temple manuscripts.
The photo collection of anthropologist Professor Joel  Halpern from 1957, 1959 and 1969 is a fascinating archive of photographs of Laos and Luang Prabang at a time when the country was sliding into civil war, caught up in the interests of global super-powers.

whc.unesco.org/​
 www.royalark.net/Laos/laos.htm​ provides detailed geneology for the royal house of Luang Prabang and Laos
​https://constituteproject.org/constitution/Laos_2015  a translation of the Lao PDR constitution (The constitution was amended again in 2025, the latest version being unavailable at present)
www.legaciesofwar.org/ is an organisation working to resolve the ongoing impact of unexploded ordinance (UXO) in Laos. As well as outlining the work that they do the website provides some detailed history on the tragic bombing of Laos during the 1960's and '70's.
