The Gilgit Mss were found in the late 1920s by Sir Aurel Stein.  They 
include many Mahayana texts, as well as a large part of the 
Mula-sarvastivadin Vinaya -- these are all in Sanskrit, of course.  They are 
all in safe-keeping in various museums and libraries and most have been 
published.  Try googling for "Gilgit mss" and you should get some 
information.

Best wishes,
