Here is an interesting comment on theosophy.net.:

HPB's efforts to bring the secret knowledge out into open, no doubt inspired 
many and resulted in surfacing of Pranava Vada and the esoteric version of 
Bhagvad Gita by Sudh Dharma Mandala, as we have learnt in the Stanzas of 
Dzyan search. So, this effort is totally in line with the objects of the TS 
and should be pursued with vigour. 

The TS libraries at Adyar and Varanasi contain many valuable treasures but 
our offer to digitize them has not made much headway. How can one approach 
the highest authority for this purpose? Particularly since many valuable 
works are in urgent need of preservation. 

For the seekers, www.archive.org and The Digital Library of India at 
www.dli.ernet.in are truly valuable resources containing many difficult to 
find but alreday digitized works. It is quite difficult to download books 
from the Digital Library of India. It will take some knowledgeable 
enthusiast to go through the entire catalogue and identify the works to be 
downloaded. I will be happy to assist anyone to download from DLI. 

As our own collection grows, we will need to catalogue, index and tag them. 
The search software at both the above sites are not really up to the mark. 
For example, if one types "Abhinav" it should return all the results 
containing these characters, but it does not. Whereas, if one typed 
"Abhinava", then the works of Abhinava Gupta will be returned. 

And, for the Creative Commons License, should we consider either adding a 
page at the beginning of the books or displaying the license before download 
with the "I Accept" button?
