Sri Sathya Sai Archives is a state-of-the-art facility built with the objective of preserving the precious messages of Bhagawan Baba for posterity. These are:

a) Audio Recordings (such as audio tapes, spools, cassettes and gramophone records)

b) Video Recordings (such as VHS/SVHS, Hi8, Mini DV and HDV tapes, BetaCam, DVCam Big and Small, Digi Beta, including 16 mm and 8 mm films)

c) Images (photos and negatives - colour and black and white); and

d) Manuscripts (letters, articles, poems, songs, etc., all written by Swami only).

Currently we have a very impressive collection of the above, thanks to the many devotees who have thoughtfully preserved them, and have handed them to us for safe keeping and sharing with posterity.

Before archiving these items in the custom designed special vaults in the Archival building, they will be digitised. This would facilitate content access in electronic form to help disseminate the message of Swami.

Very few organisations in India and abroad are able to undertake this digitisation work as the necessary technology and equipment needed are no more available.

With difficulty, few organisations have been identified who are willing to undertake this digitisation work. This task of coordinating the entire digitisation effort has been entrusted to Radio Sai Division.

It is possible that many devotees may have in their personal possession some such precious content like letters written by Swami, audio spools, pictures and negatives of photographs or even video recordings.

This is a sincere appeal to all such people to provide us access to such content so that we may digitise them for the benefit of all. And if these devotees so desire, the material as such can also be preserved in the archives with due acknowledgements.

The only motive of this exercise is to collect, preserve and share the precious content directly related to Bhagawan with the due reverence and diligence that it deserves. We humbly seek the cooperation of all the devotees who may have such precious material.

Kindly get in touch with the undersigned for further clarification and details.
