Preservation of the Manuscripts of the Jaffna Bishop’s House (1775-1948) (EAP1222)

This third phase of our project aims to complete the digitisation and preservation of the remaining batch of the archival material found at the Jaffna Bishop’s House. The realisation of the present project would:

1) make accessible to all the totality of a rare source material about the Northern provinces of pre-independent Sri Lanka,

2) help to train a couple of young deaf-mute trainees in archival and digitisation techniques and

3) help to raise a permanent  awareness about preservation and dissemination of endangered heritage.
