What the margins of old manuscripts tell us about the people who kept them โ€” and why a handful of archivists are racing to digitise before the paper gives out.

WE Connect exists to put a name and a face to work that usually goes unrecorded. This piece is part of that record. Replace this placeholder body with the full article text from your archive, or paste it straight in from the previous site.

Why this story matters

Every edition of the magazine is built around one question: who is doing the work, and what did it cost them? The answers are rarely tidy, which is exactly why they are worth printing.

We honour those who take action instead of waiting for someone else to solve the problem.

Read the rest of this edition for more profiles, interviews and dispatches from across India.
