    Traditional knowledge is abandoned by the particular community and passed to the next generation verbally. Due to the nature of knowledge flow traditional knowledge, needs to be documented so that we will not lose the knowledge and can use it for problem-solving activities for living beings and the benefit of the planet Earth. Documentation of Traditional Knowledge is a process of collecting, classifying, recording, preserving, and communicating the information in a readily accessible form which is an indispensable aspect of libraries. Traditional herbal medicine practices are an integral part of various communities inhabiting Assam. In this paper, an attempt has been made to document the traditional herbal medicinal practices in the Udalguri development block of Assam and Langsomepi development block of Karbi Anglong district, Assam with the idea to implement the strategies in libraries for documentation of the tacit knowledge.
