It was chiefly edited by Harbans Singh of the Guru Gobind Singh Department of Religious Studies of the university.[1][2][3][4] The project to write the encyclopedia began in 1972 by Harbans Singh and took decades to produce, required teams of scholars, but the work was completed by the late 1990s.[5] Publishing began in 1992 of the first volume and in 1998 the final volume was published.[4] In-total, the encyclopedia contains around 3,500–4,000 entries.[6][4] Three volumes of a Punjabi version prepared under Jodh Singh were later published in 2008, 2013, and 2009.[6] An official online conversion of the encyclopedia was released on 24 September 2007 and is available at eos.learnpunjabi.org.[6][7] A concise version of the encyclopedia was published in 2013.[6] An unofficial online conversion operates at thesikhencyclopedia.com.[8] Work on a second, revised English edition is underway.[4]
