Tamil Documentation Conference 2013
Noolaham Foundation which is a charitable organization (GA 2390) founded to provide enhanced access to information sources and foster knowledge-based development in Sri Lanka has been engaged in digital documentation and preservation initiatives since January 2005. During the first 8 years, have amassed hundreds of volunteers and archived more than 12,000 publications related to Sri Lanka’s Tamil speaking communities, created a vast digital library, and conducted numerous seminars and workshops. The biggest challenge face in our documentation activities is the lack of awareness among the general public as well as the research community of the importance of documentation.
To overcome this hurdle systematically and academically, the Noolaham Foundation has conducted annual conferences and published a research book which is consist of 48 selected researches. There were eight topics, and editorial board with professors and scholars were supported Noolaham Foundation to qualify the researches. It has instigated nearly 108 new researchers among scholars who are interested in the field of documentation and preservation of knowledge, created a platform for researchers to present the work that they have already done in this area and shared their work and received feedback from each other. As aimed, this conference renewed interest in the areas of documentation and preservation in the larger community.
