Wikisource Loves Manuscripts Philippines is a response to a call-to-action and a project to support the digitization of manuscripts on Wikisource in the Philippines.

Wikisource – The Free Library – is a collaborative project aimed at creating a growing free content online library of source texts, which includes not only literary works but also historical documents, academic writings, and various other forms of literature. Additionally, it encompasses translations of these source texts in any language, making it an invaluable resource for multilingual readers and researchers. This project promotes free access to knowledge, encourages contributions from volunteers, and serves as a repository where users can both share and discover diverse works, thereby enhancing the global literary culture and preserving important texts for future generations.

The project’s aim is to host all forms of free text, in many languages, and translations. Originally conceived as an archive to store useful or important historical texts, it has expanded to become a general-content library. The project officially began on November 24, 2003, under the name Project Sourceberg, a play on Project Gutenberg. The name Wikisource was adopted later that year and it received its own domain name.
