Hi,

Sorry, I thought you'd know him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Malamud
Many of us know him for his work around PACER. Looks like his archival projects are expanding to India. He seemingly gets Indian documents and then gets them scanned, some from the Internet Archive I think.
Federico
Where does he host the scanned documents?
