Revealing the Invisible Heritage of Panjab - Over 100 Million Pages Digitized. Despite these losses, it was clear there was still a lot left that worth saving.
(1589)

By the grace of Guru Nanak Sahib, PDL began operations in 2003 as a small organization tasked with a gigantic mission. Starting with one agenda, one desktop, and one employee, PDL has come a long way since. The project emerged from the concerns shared by a group of individuals for the fast-disappearing or already-lost heritage of Sikhs and Panjab. In many such cases, valuable material, rare litera

ture, architecture and signs of much celebrated memories were completely destroyed, whether by ageing, accident or human aggression. This vision of preservation was the primary motivation for the project. After much deliberation and brainstorming, the project was established with a focus on archiving the endangered invaluable manuscripts and other literature to conserve and defend the heritage, culture and language of Panjab.

We often define heritage by what was built or done. But it is also in the paths not taken and the dreams we carry. They deserve the same protection as our tangible past.

We had the pleasure of learning more about the month of Ramadan through an insightful presentation by Dr. Kafeel Ahmad Bhat, Head of our Metadata Department.

Celebrating the 558th year of the Nanakshahi Calendar with this blueprint of a 100-year-old pocket watch designed by Sri Guru Nanak Sahi Karkhana, Ludhiana, which probably was never crafted.

The Watch displays Days, Weeks, Months, Hours, Directions and Dates, arranged in concentric circles. Together, they give insight into the gradual changes of the Cosmos. The first circle shows the 7 Days of the week, followed by 12 Months in the second circle. The third wheel shows the 12 hours of the day with a 360 Degree Compass at the bottom. The dates are displayed on the outermost circle. Gurbani, an integral part of our life, embellishes its circumference.
