The long-term objective of this project is to document the voices, stories, lifestyles, contributions, achievements and histories of the Tamil speaking women and the challenges they have faced. The project has the following goals. Identifying documents related to Tamil-speaking women from Sri Lanka, cataloguing them in line with the standards followed by Noolaham, preserving them as digitized entities, obtaining copyright permission for those documents and providing unlimited access to such resources. Documenting topics and areas that have not been covered in written documents as oral histories and life histories on multimedia platforms and providing assistance to such initiatives. Providing support to teaching, learning and research initiatives and activities driven by women with a focus on issues related Sri Lankan Tamil-speaking women. Sharing the obstacles faced, opportunities identified, experiences encountered and lessons learnt during documentation and archiving.
It is recommended to collect the documents for the women archive through Regional projects.
