With the increased availability of economical digital storage media, high speed scanners and high-bandwidth networks, Digital Libraries have received a boost in the last few years. The dream of digitizing vast areas of knowledge pertaining to mankind, and making them available online has now become a realizable goal. The Noolaham Digital Library Collection Development 2013 project focused on strengthening Noolaham’s Digital Library collection by adding various rare documents to it.

Through this project Noolaham Foundation has digitized 676 documents and made them available on its Digital Library (www.noolaham.org). The documents that are made available online through the project date back to 1970. Most of these documents are out of print and are available at only a few libraries and personal collections.
