e-Tipitaka Hall

The Tipitaka Hall is a great resource to see the Tipitaka in various scripts, eg Pali in Burmese or Thai; there is an online resource that leads to a Flicks Photo Stream of photocopies of the original pages (which is frankly a bit of a nuisance to use).
In 2000, the M.L. Maniratana Bunnag Dhamma Society Fund under the Patronage of the His Holiness the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand presented the International Tipiṭaka Collection as a Gift of Dhamma to the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. This special donation, including the historic 39-volume Chulachomklao of Siam Tipiṭaka (1893) and very rare palm-leave manuscripts, is part of the Tipiṭaka Project in Roman Script to publish "the World Tipiṭaka Edition", a Romanized script of the Pāḷi-language scripture, based on the Chaṭṭhasaṅgῑti Tipiṭaka Edition B.E. 2500 (1957).
