New Delhi: The National
Archives of India (NAI) has digitised 15 lakh pages of documents
and manuscripts at a cost of Rs 18 lakh during the financial year
2011-12, the Lok Sabha was informed Tuesday.
The allocated fund for digitisation project for this period was Rs
20 lakh.
In reply to a question in the lower house, Culture Minister Selja
said the NAI has modernised "its conservation research laboratory
with latest equipment to carry out preventive and curative
conservation of records".
"Training in the field of conservation of archival heritage for
both professional and sub-professional level are conducted by the
school of archival studies, and staff of the archives have been
deputed to national and international organisations to update
their knowledge under various exchange programmes and agreements,"
Selja said.
She said, "Only post-Independence records of permanent nature
recently received from various ministers and departments need
immediate attention for their preservation."
The National Archives has employed 45 professionals for
preservation of such records, Selja said.
