Covers aspects like the process of conversion of the records into digital form, implementing a Digital Library System having specialized hardware and software that can ensure storage without possibility of tampering or editing originals, and techniques to be used for full text indexing, data basing and organization of digitized records as a functional digital library. The report estimates total cost of the project as Rs. 1,30,36457 which includes consultancy, digital archiving, indexing and data basing of approximately 6.2 lakhs printed pages, and acquiring hardware and software to establish a Digital Library.
