About PSF Archives:
Over the years, Pondicherry Science Forum has brought out a vast number of publications, and a modest number of films. Many of these are very creative, thoughtful, and informative. Though these engage with the major development problems of the day, these have relevance even for the contemporary reader. In addition, there are many reports and publications that document the rich experience of our 40+ year old history. Many of these were written before the digital age, but are now being digitised partly because it is possible to do so and partly because it is very difficult to preserve and access the hard copies. More recent documents are available in soft copy form but the challenge is to provide access.
Objectives
- Create a digital repository of past PSF publications and documents
- Provide easy access to past PSF publications and documents for those who are interested
- Document PSF experience so that current and future generations may learn from the past.
- In a more limited way, provide access to AIPSN, BGVS and JSA documents which otherwise may also fade away from public memory or access.
