(14 January 2015, Chennai) Palm leaves, ancient texts and manuscripts that were accessible only for a select few on poring through rows of dusty records are now just a click away for anyone from anywhere across the world.
For the first time in India, 2,600,000 pages of historic records are being made available to the public through an upgraded website of the Tamil Nadu government.
These manuscripts are from the Government Oriental Manuscripts Library and Research Centre, considered one of the best manuscript libraries in Asia, with 72,748 rare manuscripts and 25,373 reference books.
The Express News Service has the story.
