Dear Colleagues,

There is little public information about the holdings and collections of
libraries and archives in India, particularly those that are not large
or prominent enough to appear in existing databases. The Archive and
Access project invites you to contribute information about these
institutions and help to build a public, easily accessible database. For
more details, please look at:

http://publicarchives.org/directory-of-archive-and-libraries.html

The Archive and Access project aims to set up a consortium of
libraries and archives with a online joint catalogue; to build an online
directory of significant archival collections in India; and to make
available full text selections contributed by historians. It also tries
to facilitate public discussions about archival practices and policies
and to develop ideas about ownership and use.
