migrated from Sri Lanka. Mr. N. Selvarajah, a librarian who was born in Anaikoddai, Jaffna and is residing presently in Luton in the UK, has brought out these catalogues since 2002.Writers from Sri Lanka have brought out thousands of books written in Tamil since the mid part of the nineteenth century. There have been no systematic records about these books so far. The primary objective of this initiative is to address this vacuum and document information pertaining to books published in print form by Sri Lankan writers and writers from the diaspora communities from Sri Lanka. The monographs that have been catalogued under this initiative are not subject to quality control. All the books received have been catalogued into lists of 1000 entries each.Some publications have not been added to this catalogue due to the nature of the medium in which they appeared. Pamphlets, drawings, hand-written documents, audio-visual tapes and CDs have not been included here. The catalogue also excludes anniversary publications, remembrance publications, souvenirs and magazines.However, special issues and stand-alone issues of magazines are included in this collection. In addition, some anniversary publications have been included since their content is significant and rich.
