One key step that was missed out in the past digitization initiatives was making the meta data about the book (title, author) available in the language of the book. Accomplishing that step alone could help the lndian language users in accessing the already digitized content. The next step is transcripting the Indian language content from the digitized scans. In Telugu, I initiated these steps using WIkisource project. A 1910 book on History of Andhras (Telugu Title: Andhurla-Charitramu Part 1) by Chilukuri Veerabhadra rao was transcribed<http://te.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%B0%86%E0%B0%82%E0%B0%A7%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0%E0%B1%81%E0%B0%B2_%E0%B0%9A%E0%B0%B0%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%A4%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0%E0%B0%AE%E0%B1%81_-_%E0%B0%AA%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%B0%E0%B0%A5%E0%B0%AE_%E0%B0%AD%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%97%E0%B0%AE%E0%B1%81>.
