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 PDF or QuickTime 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.

Representative titles include:
- Ancient India, McCrindle J. W.. 1885.
