The dictionary meaning of ‘heritage’ is ‘what has been or can be inherited’. As such heritage can be received by legacy or it is to received by heredity. The knowledge conserved and preserved by our forefathers has been transforming from generations to generations and the same has to go again for the generations to come. Our literary heritage has to play a crucial role in this regard. Most of the heritage institutions of Manipur are found to be slow in taking up initiative for the preservation and conservation of heritage materials. Digitalization also helps in preservation and conservation of heritage material. Many of the cultural institutions have started digitalization in India but in Manipur, due to lack of infrastructures such as digital technology, trained IT manpower, is still lagging behind though some of them has started digitalization projects.
