As part of the BharatSHRI (Bharat Shared Repository of Inscriptions)
initiative to digitize all 76 thousand estampages, the Directorate of
Epigraphy has begun the re-copying of damaged and missing estampages.
A total of 18 technical teams are presently engaged in re-copying inscriptions
from the states of A.P., Delhi, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttarakhand,
Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
These inscriptions were originally copied during the years
1887, 1889, 1892, 1894, 1896, 1900, and 1915.
