I draw the attention of all Punjabi's of Pakistan living in Pakistan or abroad to what the ‘Punjab Digital Library’ operating from Chandigarh  tells us about itself and its work:  

What is Punjab digital mission?

The mission of the Punjab Digital Library (PDL) is to locate, digitize, preserve, collect and make accessible the accumulated wisdom of the Punjab region, without distinction as to script, language, religion, nationality, or other physical condition.

                                                  


                                                              PDL is dedicated to:

                        Addressing heritage loss due to environment, ignorance and destruction

                    Saving invaluable treasures to enrich the present and enlighten the future

                    Connecting people globally by providing continued free online access

Why Digitize?

(1) Securing heritage for future generations

(2) Limitless life span of digitally preserved material

(3) Wide availability through internet and easily searchable

What comprises the invaluable heritage of Panjab?

Manuscripts, books, official records, newspapers, miniatures, murals, periodicals, paintings, pictures, architecture etc are all are being digitized at PDL. 

What has PDL already done?

PDL started digitization of historical texts in 2003. Millions of pages were launched online at www.panjabdigilib.org on the 20 August 2009 for public use. To date, PDL has digitized over Eight million pages from different manuscripts, books, newspapers, magazines, photographs, etc


With support from hundreds of supporters and the Sikh Research Insitute we have served government departments, museums, universities, libraries and a number of personal collections.”

I believe this is sufficient for any Pakistani Punjabi who is concerned about his heritage to begin work on similar lines for Pakistan part of the Punjab. I intend to begin this work at the earliest, therefore this website.
