There are thousands of these books related to Indian Language books in private and personal collections. #ServantsOfKnowledge has been trying hard to convince the collectors, authors, publishers and their families to work with us to preserve these for next generation. We succeed to create these partnerships. The challenge is to sustain the operations and team which works relentlessly to make it happen. #DigitalArchiving ht: @carlmalamud@official.resource.org @sushantsinha@mastodon.social
