Template:Aaram: Jaffna Hindu College Digitization

The ‘Aaram: Jaffna Hindu College Digitization’ project was aimed at collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of published documents of Jaffna Hindu College, Jaffna and its community members. This collection includes periodical publications since 1933 and materials such as magazines, newsletters, booklets, reports, souvenirs and felicitation, annual publications, leaflets, memorial publications, monographs and administrative documents. The main objectives for having this project to provide open access of institution’s printed collection, preserve and create wide global visibility.

Noolaham foundation has digitized 133 publications from ‘by laws of the Jaffna Hindu College 1933’ released in 1933 to ‘Jaffna Hindu College Sivagnana Vairavar Koyil Kudamuzhukku Vizha Malar’ released in 2013 by the Jaffna Hindu College. Noolaham Foundation obtained great support from the Jaffna Hindu College youth wing in collecting the publications released by the College. Noolaham foundation has made required facilities to view these digitalized publications in its official website, www.noolaham.org. Noolaham Foundation and Colombo branch of Jaffna Hindu College Old Boys’ Association released all the documented publications as a DVD named ‘Aaram’ along with the handbook titled, ‘Aaram- Inthuvin Aavanak Kalanjiyam’ on 14th October 2013 at Saraswathy Hall, Colombo-04. The documented collections were gifted to school, so that the school can share these documents to their relevant well-wishers, stake holders, and students for their usage. This digitization project provides an opportunity to preserve these historical documents and share them with a wider community of scholars and students.
