Thanks Tejaswini for the paper. All the best for the inititaive.

One key step that was missed out in the past digitization initiatives was making the meta data  about the book (title, author) available in the  language of the book.  Accomplishing that step alone could help  the lndian language users in accessing the already digitized content. The next step is transcripting the Indian language content from the digitized scans.

In Telugu, I initiated these steps  using  WIkisource project.
A 1910 book on History of Andhras (Telugu Title: Andhurla-Charitramu Part 1)  by Chilukuri Veerabhadra rao was transcribed. The transcription of meta data of the Telugu titles available in archive.org is initiated.

Cheers
