Representatives of donors and DTP staff offered a palm-leaf manuscript cabinet to the abbot of Duang Dee Temple in Chiang Mai. The gesture was made in appreciation for the temple's generous permission to digitize 27 bundles of palm-leaf manuscripts preserved in the temple's library during the period from June 13 to August 20, 2018.
Six years following the official signing of the MOU between DCI and three universities in Myanmar (SPSU of Yangon, SPSU of Mandalay, and ITBMU) in 2011, the digitization of palm-leaf manuscripts archived at the Research Library in Kaba Aye, Yangon, has reached its completion. On this significant occasion, Ven. Thanavuddho, Director of DCI, presented the Director of the Research Library with a copy of the manuscript image files and a complete set of digitization equipment. This equipment included a high-resolution camera, a light meter, a photography shooting table, studio lights, and a laptop equipped with digitization and editing software.
