About
The Digital Tamil Studies project at the UTSC library partners with an international network of collaborators engaged in the digital publication and stewardship of high-quality Tamil-language materials. In addition to publishing collections, we work with researchers engaged in Tamil-language work in digital scholarship and the digital humanities. The project also engages students, particularly those with Tamil language skills, in the development of skill sets used in digital collections and digital scholarship.
