Project Madurai (மதுரை தமிழ் இலக்கிய மின்தொகுப்புத் திட்டம்) is an open and voluntary initiative aimed at publishing free versions of ancient Tamil literature on the internet .^[1] Texts have been consistently published in both TSCII (Tamil Script Code for Information Interchange) since its launch in 1998 and Unicode formats from 2004. The leadership of the project is attributed to Dr. K. Kalyanasundaram, based in Lausanne, Switzerland, serving as the Project Leader, and Dr. P. Kumar Mallikarjunan, located in Blacksburg, VA, USA, as the Deputy Project Leader .^[2]

Project Madurai is one of several projects currently active on an international scale, endeavoring to digitize ancient literary works and make them available in electronic form. The electronic texts from this project are distributed in both HTML and PDF file formats.
