Projects
approved
by the FAAA. Short term
project initiated by FAAA.
1. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan
Digitization Project
:
Sir
Syed Ahmad Khan, The father of
Aligarh
, and the greatest reformer of modern times, spread his message through regular
publications like Aligarh Gazette, Tehzibul-Akhlaq and hundreds of books and
articles. This project will make available all historical literature written by
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, many important books written on Sir Syed Ahmad Khan,
“Aligarh Movement”, history of
Aligarh
, and Biographies of important Aligarians. Unfortunately
most Aligarians, let alone most Muslims or Non-Muslims, are not fully aware of
his teachings or simply do not have access to the material.
A physical library regardless of the location, in this day and age, has
limited use. This material will be freely made accessible at a new web site “Sirsyedtoday.org”.
Scope
of the Project
- For historical purpose,
digitize original publications such as Tehzibul Akhlaq, Aligarh Institute
Gazette, .Scientific Society, Mohammedan Educational Conference
- Digitize several dozens
books and hundreds of articles written by Sir Syed
- Digitize original
letter to and from Sir Syed Ahmad Khan
- Digitize all important
books written on Sir Syed Ahmad Khan including “Hayat-e-Jawaid” and
biographies of important Aligarians.
- Digitize all available
historical pictures related to Aligarh Movement, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, and
his companions.
- Many important articles
and books are not well preserved and not suitable for digitization.
Some books were published in old-type fonts that are very hard to
read. All of this material
should be re-typed, published, and then digitized.
Project
Logistics
I
have acquired many books over the years that can be used for digitization in
San Antonio
,
Texas
. However, most of relevant material
is with Maulana Azad Library,
Sir
Syed
Academy
and some in private hands. Therefore,
this work must be done at
Aligarh
. No books will be shipped or
removed from their original location to prevent damage or loss.
We
are looking at >175 years of history as relates to
Aligarh
and Muslims. This is a herculean
task, given the facts that there are >100,000 pages that must be digitized,
archived, prepared for publication on-line.
I have researched the cutting-edge, automated or semi-automated, robotic
digitizers that can virtually take most books and produced high quality images
(10 mega pixels or more) and produced a desired output (pdf, tiff, giff or
jpeg). Most high end machines will
have automated page flipping and may achieve speeds or 30-100 pages per minute.
These raw images must be manually cleaned-up for proper viewing and
publication on the web. High-end,
automated digitizer cost US$100,000-$150,000 and requires lots of
sophistication. This may be
ill-suited for
Aligarh
, service and repair may be too expensive or simply not available.
I believe that a semi-automated (no automated page-flipping) is
well-suited for this project. Cost
of the machine is relatively inexpensive.
Prof. PK.
Abdul Azis, Vice-chancellor AMU, Maulana Azad
library, and
Sir
Syed
Academy
has offered full cooperation. I am
in touch with proper authorities or individuals to coordinate our activities.
Financials
Raise
at least $50,000 for the digitization project.
The money will be used to buy high quality scanning equipment, computers,
digitization, software, content development, website construction, storage and
high-band width for the huge amount (100s of gigs per day transfer) to allow
login and viewing of large number of users worldwide.
Significant money will be used to re-type 100s of books and articles that
are not suitable for publication or digitization due to the poor quality of the
original content.
Time
Frame:
approx. 12-18 months.
