Focus II: Digital Processing and Preservation

The second focus area is digitization, digital conversion, digital processing and long term digital preservation according to international standards. Noolaham Foundation uses manual, sheet-feed scanning and camera scanning as appropriate for digitization of textual material. We have developed the capacity to edit and produce quality media outputs such as oral histories and documentaries. We are currently developing digital conversion capacity to convert analog audio/video cassette into digital files.

Digital preservation is much more than scanning. It requires advanced digital technological infrastructure to develop, store, preserve and make accessible high quality resources for a wide range of uses from reading/using online to machine learning. Investing and building the digital processing and preservation capacity will enable Noolaham Foundation to establish itself as a leader in this area in South Asia.
