Thousands back call for National Library to put ancient manuscripts online

More than 10,000 people have signed an online petition to press the National Library of Thailand (NLT) into offering online access to ancient manuscripts or documents originating before King Rama I's reign.

The move is intended to improve public access to the country’s ancient manuscripts as well as boost efforts to maintain them.
Prapassorn Posrithong, the independent researcher who started the online petition, will Thursday submit the list of people supporting her idea to the Fine Arts Department director general Borvornvate Rungrujee.
