The Tamil Times Digitization Project was carried out in 2009 to digitize all issues of the Tamil Times magazine. Tamil Times (ISSN 0266 4488) is an English monthly news magazine that covered on Sri Lankan Tamil issues. It was published in London UK continuously from 1981 to the late 2000s. It provides valuable documentation and analysis of the Tamil struggle and Sri Lankan and International politics during this crucial period.

Through this project which was carried out with the support of the publishers of Tamil Times, all 297 issues of Tamil Times were digitized and made available online through Noolaham Foundation’s digital library at www.noolaham.org. A web portal was also created at the digital library so that the users can access information about the magazines and read the issues easily.
