In total 70volumes compiled as commemoration works were examined which were kept in the library of Postgraduate Institute of Pali& Buddhist Studies, (PGIPBS) University of Kelaniya. Two hypothesis were formulated to generalization the research problem. The findings of this study were substantiated the hypothesis 1 as ‘the included articles incommemoration works are scholastic.’ This study confirms the requirement of compiling an index for the collection of commemoration volumes available in PGIPBS.
