7.1.3 Current Work<br />
As the above projects not yielded positive results, mainly due to financial constraints,<br />
started Digitization of Manuscripts from 13 th July <strong>2009</strong> seriously. Three Assistants have<br />
been groomed <strong>for</strong> this work and the work is in progress satisfactorily.<br />
7.2 Digitization Process<br />
Digitization work involves following processes.<br />
7.2.1 Selection<br />
It was decided that following type of documents are to be digitized.<br />
a. Palm Leaf Manuscripts.<br />
b. Paper Manuscripts.<br />
c. Rare Books.<br />
First, started the work with Palm Leaf Manuscripts and later on, switched on to Paper<br />
Manuscripts, due to various operational reasons.<br />

7.2.2 Accession Number<br />
The Manuscripts selected <strong>for</strong> digitization are provided with an Accession Number or<br />
Digitization Number or Bundle Number. It will be written on the wooden board which<br />
will be covering on both sides of the Palm Leaf bundle. If the Manuscripts are on paper<br />
media, it will be written on the Cover page.<br />
7.2.3 Numbering<br />
All the pages of the Manuscripts selected <strong>for</strong> digitization are being serially numbered<br />
using a soft marking pen if page numbers are not available. This activity will avoid filing<br />
of leaves or pages wrongly.
