I have a small but growing collection of palm leaf manuscripts so it was interesting to learn more about these manuscripts from this paper
A Selective Review of Scholarly Communications
on Palm Leaf Manuscripts
Abstract - The very purpose of this paper is to provide a meticulous review of
literature on various aspects of palm leaf manuscripts. Through the process of review, it aims to
highlight the antiquity of palm leaf manuscripts, the process of seasoning and writing over the
leaves, the physical, chemical and biological factors of deterioration, the classification and
cataloguing process of manuscripts, different traditional / modern methods of preservation and
conservation as well as the viability and prospects of digital preservation of manuscripts and the
attempts taken by various manuscript libraries for digitization.
