Abstract: Palm Leaf Manuscripts are historical heritage of India. They store within themselves the unexplored treasures of knowledge. Though the age of these leaves is about 300yrs, the tradition of guru-shisya relationship has made their life much beyond. The knowledge in them covers all aspects of life. Be it religious beliefs, literature, science, mathematics, or any other. However, due to discontinuation of practise of copying their content on fresh leaves, they now possess a fragile life which needs to be preserved at the earliest. The modern means of digitization can help in their preservation. With computer technology penetrating every aspect of life, we can exploit information retrieval algorithms to help build a system which can dig into the ocean of knowledge from these manuscripts. This paper is an attempt to popularize information retrieval from palm leaf manuscripts among computer scientists to make available the guidance of our age old heritage in shaping our future.
