Digital Library of India, initially hosted by Indian Institute of Science, CDAC, Noida, IIIT-Hyderabad during 2000s working in partnership with the Million Book Project, provides free access to many books in English and Indian languages.^[1] The scanning of Indian language books has created an opportunity for developing Indian language optical character recognition (OCR) software. The publications are mainly in PDForQuickTime format.^[2]

Because of copyright laws, the texts are all out of copyright and therefore not sources for current information, but rather useful for history and background.

As of 2016^[update], DLI had scanned 550,603 titles.

Representative titles include:

Ancient India, McCrindle J. W.. 1885.
Ancient Indian Polity, Aiyangar K. V. Rangaswami. 1935.
History of the Parsis Vol-I, Karaka Dosabhai Framji. 1884.
A Treatise on Kala-Azar, Brahmachari Upendranath. 1928.
"Aligarh kee taleemi tehreek", Khwaja Ghulamus Sayyedain, 1931
"Makateeb-e-Sanai" by Professor Nazir Ahmed, 1962

Books in Urdu and Persian are also available. Examples include " Aligarh kee taaleemi tehreek" by Khwaja Ghulamus Sayyedain and Makateeb-e-Sanai by Professor Nazir Ahmad

DLI website has not been operational for maintenance reasons from 2017. The contents are available from archive.org^[3]
