I am scanning (at the highest possible level on my home printer/scanner) each page of the non-copyrighted portions of the Sritattvanidhi, Volume 1 - Saktinidhi. I'm about 20-25 pages deep. It's 128 pages total. 1200 dpi. 💪 It takes 5 minutes to scan a page and the HP app not only wants my location but shuts down every hour or so unexpectedly. I've had to restart several times. Constant saving is key.

I plan to upload my scanned copy somewhere as it is unavailable online. The text and illustrations were made in the 19th century. The manuscript was made my the King of Mysore and remained unbound and unpublished until 1997.

Only 1000 copies of this volume were made. I'm lucky to have a copy thanks to an interlibrary loan.

what happens if you try to scan a copyrighted page?

Nothing. But I plan on uploading the work and I'm not trying to step on any toes.

Its basically the intro, the table of contents and index, the translations and the page indicators and borders. In the image above, you can see the purple outline around the scanned page and the page/illustration indicator at the bottom. Those have to be cropped out too.
