Digital Library Framework for Heritage Preservation

The paper highlights the need for heritage preservation with the aim of proposing a Digital Heritage Library Framework whereby digitized heritage collection (pictures, audio, and video) will be archived digitally. The paper demonstrates the process flow in a heritage digital library creation. The findings of the study will help in realizing the enormously powerful vision of ‘anytime, anywhere’ access to the best and the latest of human thoughts and culture, so that no individual or a society is isolated from knowledge resources of their indigenous region. The workflow, if adopted and applied can bring back the heritage and culture of past on the digital canvas, in a sustainable digital platform, for the future generations to come.ELSEVIER;Taylor & Francis; Ministry of Defense Government of India;Ministry of Culture Government of India;Department of Science and Technology Ministry of Science and Technology
