Author(s) Archana Pathak, Shesh Mishra
Country India
Abstract Manuscript is a big source of knowledge for our future generations. Many libraries and institutions have preserved these perishable materials as a valuable thing for research and knowledge, which is very important for the cultural and historical ethos of our nation. The large amount of manuscripts preserved in the research institutes in Rajasthan state are a good evidence of richness of Rajasthani culture, traditions and knowledge .
The large artistic paintings on cloth, miniature paintings, many forms which are scribed on Tad Patras (plant leaves), Bhoj patras (birch bark of tree) Charmpatras (leather sheets), Wooden panels, cloth manuscripts known as “Kharha” and most of the paper manuscripts with illustrations in different styles are available here and denote the specialty of Rajasthani literature.
Due to several factors, these valuable written materials are getting destroyed gradually, therefore preservation techniques are being used for these materials to save first in physical form and then in digital version. This paper highlights the collection, development, types of manuscript materials and preservation policies used by kota Sangrahalaya, Rajasthan, under the supervision of NMM and Rajasthan Oriental institute, Jodhpur. It also highlights the working status of the National Mission for manuscripts and summarizes the preservation status in the state of Rajasthan in India.
