Palm-leaf manuscripts are a unique medium that serve as a repository of knowledge from across a few centuries. Digitization is an essential process to preserve this knowledge and provide access to users. Due to their unique nature, palm-leaf manuscripts pose some specific challenges. This paper highlights such challenges identified during the course of implementation at SCSVMV University Palm Leaf Library and provides suggestions for possible solutions to these challenges.
