There will be two main resources for grant mobilization namely regular and non-regular donations. Regular resources will be provided by relevant resource networks throughout the world, friends of Noolaham Foundation, patrons, technical advisors, members of regulatory bodies, the chapter community, and through the initiation of fundraising activities by Noolaham Foundation in Sri Lanka to cover routine operational cost and expenditure.</br>
Seven chapters, Directors of the Board, members of the Governance Board, other well-wishers, and friends-network of Noolaham Foundation will be the primary source of operational functions. All chapters will ensure their commitment during the fourth quarter of each year and will mobilize funds and commitment by the first quarter of the following year, while the second and third quarters will be the periods for actual implementation. Reporting will be carried out during the fourth quarter of each year.</br>

== Sustainability strategy ==
All documents collected through projects will be digitalized and preserved as archived on the official website of the Noolaham Foundation. Stakeholders will be the primary responsible persons to coordinate with the relevant stakeholder in their respective locations.</br>
Sufficient backup will be made and maintained in many locations to protect the documents from hackers and breakers. The main server will be the primary source of information control and the administrator will be the key focal person to operate and administrate the entire system of Noolaham Foundation. The document and question/questions bank will be made available for access.</br>
The volunteer network established through active involvement in documentation and preservation activities will serve as the stable contributors to the continuation of community efforts on resource mobilization and as vigilant groups to identify and support the socio-economic development of each community group, social groups, and the Tamil speaking community as a whole.</br>
The relevant government and non-government stakeholders will be the key contributors to community construction and preservation of potential heritage, and will also be the primary officials for harmonization of potential contributors and creative commons.
Through the establishment of a forum, relevant expertise will be linked and networked. Any new ideas or findings shall be discussed in relevant forums to increase the technical know-how of the Tamil-speaking community. And through archiving web and multimedia components, information and documents will be permanently preserved.</br>
Through engaging in research on important topics in required areas, a knowledge targeted student community will be developed, and this will serve as a potential knowledge contribution to the Tamil speaking community, to plan and perform many social and cultural initiatives, and to cater to the needs and rights of the Tamil speaking community in Sri Lanka and around the world.</br>
The establishment of a network between the Sri Lankan Tamil-speaking community and the Diaspora will be a bridging agent to fulfill certain social and economic needs to fill the gaps in the targeted community. Potentially viable and feasible activities will also be made available for external sharing and any interested parties shall communicate with community groups directly and offer support to the socio-economic and political development of the targeted community.</br>

== Physical records repository storage policy ==
''' 1. Define 'Rare material' '''</br>
Rare material refers to any item included in a library’s special collection because of the age, historical value, craftsmanship, rarity (as in the case of autographs, letters, or diaries), and other items of varying significance. Special collections can also include generalized material not considered entirely rare such as an extensive collection of children’s books on a specialized topic such as the urban experience. Waters (2009) defines special collections as “sometimes referring simply too rare books and manuscript materials, and sometimes more generally to materials that are used as primary sources of evidence as opposed to secondary sources.” For the purpose of this essay, we will focus on the former, rare material collections.</br>
''' 2. Prepare storage procedure '''</br>
Rare materials require special housing not only to protect against theft but also to provide a suitable physical environment including regulation of temperature, light, and humidity.
Magazines, Books, Souvenirs are categorized and stored in cupboards.
NF collects and keeps the borrowed and donated documents in separate cupboards with the entry of the donated list/borrowed list which has the Documents category, Name of the document, Donor name, No of documents, date. Donated documents are categorized and kept in different cupboards. The document transfers to the scanning Then the Scanned document will be checked. Finally, the document returns to the contributor with a Thanking letter.</br>

* Palm-leaf manuscripts</br>
Citronella spray is a herbal repellent that will be used for rare materials & keep them in the passive sunlight. All ola leaves are arranged properly, bound, and covered with red cloth. All preserved materials are kept in the cupboard and regularly monitored.</br>
* Books</br>

a) Dust the Books</br>

The right precautions can go a long way in preventing pests and the elements from totaling your beloved books. Before packing them away make sure that they are in pristine condition. Use a soft paintbrush to remove any dust and dirt from the book’s cover and its pages. Making sure the book stays dry is paramount.</br>

b) Air out the books if needed</br>
If the book feels damp or smells musty, allow it to air out in a dry room before packing it away. Damp books are likely to mildew once stored—if there’s already mold or mildew on their pages, you’ll either have to keep them out of storage or seek professional assistance.</br>
c) Inspect for pests before packing</br>
When cleaning your pages with a brush, check for insect eggs, which resemble tiny black seeds and often get lodged in the gutter between pages and the binding. If you do find eggs, the only measure you can take is a good, thorough cleaning.
“Do not use bug spray or any other kind of spray.” It will almost certainly react with the paper and damage the book.”</br>
d) Provide protection for dust jackets</br>
Packing books the right way can help keep insects and moisture far away; packing the wrong way will put your books in danger of those “clumsy hands”.</br>
After the books have been thoroughly cleaned, it’s best to wrap them up.</br>
“Many hardcover books are wrapped in dust jackets and they can be particularly fragile and liable to small tearing, so that’s a good reason to add extra packing around each book individually.”</br>
Though the purpose of a dust jacket is, nominally, to protect the books from the elements, a pristine jacket is an important factor in a book’s value,
“The presence of a dust jacket is vitally important in maintaining a book’s value, so treat them particularly carefully.
Library classification, is a system of arrangement adopted by a library to enable patrons to find its materials quickly and easily. While cataloging provides information on the physical and topical nature of the book (or other items), classification, through the assignment of a call number (consisting of class designation and author representation), locates the item in its library setting and, ideally, in the realm of knowledge. Arranging similar things in some order according to some principle unites and controls information from various sources.
Classification can be distinguished by type: (1) natural, or fundamental—e.g., books by subject, (2) accidental—e.g., chronological or geographic, and (3) artificial—e.g., by alphabet, linguistic base, form, size, or numerical order. Degree of classification (e.g., close, with the most minute subdivisions, or broad, with the omission of detailed subdivisions) may also characterize a system. Several systems of classification have been developed to provide the type of access and control that a particular library and its clientele need. Generally, each system consists of a scheme that arranges knowledge in terms of stated principles into classes, then divisions and subdivisions.
Dewey Decimal Classification, also called Dewey Decimal System, system for organizing the contents of a library based on the division of all knowledge into 10 groups, with each group assigned 100 numbers. The 10 main groups are 000–099, general works; 100–199, philosophy and psychology; 200–299, religion; 300–399, social sciences; 400–499, language; 500–599, natural sciences and mathematics; 600–699, technology; 700–799, the arts; 800–899, literature and rhetoric; and 900–999, history, biography, and geography. These 10 main groups are in turn subdivided again and again to provide more specific subject groups. Within each main group, the principal subseries are divided by 10.</br>
''' 3. Plan infrastructure for physical storage '''</br>
Based on available books and future donations, an appropriate place shall be identified and allocated to store the books. The books shall be stored in closed cupboards.

Dried Acorus calamus, naphthalene ball, cloves are powered and tied by the red cloth which will be added to the old books for 3 to 4 days to kill the insects in the books. Those books are allowed to keep on the “V” shaped wooden frame, which will facilitate bringing out the small insects within the books.</br>
''' 4. Prepare a budget for a physical storage facility '''</br>
Three staff members from Library Science programs are required to perform the classification, binding, and labeling of books. Cupboards and locations shall be arranged in accordance with the requirements presented by the respective staff members.</br>
''' 5. Linking physical storage items with digitized items '''</br>
An access number is given when Noolaham first receives the material. This number will be used to provide the status of the material as it goes through the digitization process. This number will be the link between the physical and digital versions of the material.

Noolaham Foundation develops and maintains a range of institutional and personal repositories to document, digitize, preserve, and provide access to the documentary heritage and knowledge resources of Sri Lankan Tamil-speaking communities. Institutional repositories include collections from educational institutions, libraries, religious and cultural organizations, publishers, media organizations, community organizations, and public institutions, while personal repositories preserve the works and collections of writers, researchers, artists, academics, activists, and other individuals. Through digitization, cataloguing, metadata creation, digital preservation, and appropriate access mechanisms, these repositories help safeguard valuable books, publications, manuscripts, photographs, archival records, and other documentary materials for long-term preservation and research. The initiative aims to support institutions and individuals in preserving their knowledge and memory while making these resources discoverable and accessible to present and future generations.
