Abstract - India's ancient texts, libraries, and archives represent a vast, intricate knowledge system accumulated over millennia. These repositories contain invaluable wisdom related to philosophy, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, and the arts, which continue to inspire and influence global thought. However, many of these materials are at risk due to deteriorating conditions, neglect, and lack of preservation technology. This paper discusses the importance of incorporating these ancient texts, libraries, and archives into modern knowledge systems. It emphasizes the significance of digitalization, interdisciplinary research, and collaborative efforts between academic institutions and cultural organizations to preserve these invaluable resources. Furthermore, it highlights the need for revitalizing archival practices and advancing conservation techniques to ensure the longevity of these ancient sources of knowledge.
