Project Madurai is an open and voluntary initiative to collect and publish free electronic editions of ancient tamil literary classics. This means either typing-in or scanning old books and archiving the text in one of the most readily accessible formats ("ETEXTS") for use on all popular computer platforms. All etexts are distributed in both web/html and PDF formats. Anyone located anywhere may download a copy for personal use or read what we publish on the internet, free of charge.
I was fascinated to see the growth of this project. It has come a long in propagating Tamil Literature like Thirukkural, Thiruvasagam etc.
Great site and hats off for Virginia Tech University for Hosting and initiating such a great work.
The project will be coordinated by a handful of volunteers, most of which have Project Madurai s as their hobby, just like you! Anyone who would like to contribute can join this project. Simply send an email note to Project Coordinators. Email : pmadurai AT gmail DOT com
