Digital archiving to build OER for local languages [Kannada]

Digitizing our art, history & culture has major impacts on our language preservation. It also add’s to the larger human knowledge and helps us build sustaining open knowledge solutions for the society at large. We at Sanchi Foundation ® (https://sanchifoundation.org) & a Kannada FOSS collective called Sanchaya (https://sanchaya.org) has been putting efforts in this direction for more than a decade. Last two years I spent time building Servants of Knowledge initiative in collaboration of Public.Resource.org & Internet Archive and it has helped us digitize thousands of books in 12 languages. Kannada has seen a largest number of digitized books & magazines ever since we started our scans. Lets take a peak at the quantum of data available under Creative Commons & Public Domain.
