Book Description

Preface This volume is the first in the series "Guide to the Sources of Asian History" pertaining to India. It covers records of eleven ministries of the Government of India out of a total of nineteen ministries that existed in 1960. Information about the remaining eight ministries and private records in the custody of the National Archives of India will be given in the second volume of the series. Records in the various archival repositories in India are generally open for research after 30 years of their creation, and 1960 has been taken as the cut off year, as this project is proposed to be completed by 1990. Organisational set-up of the various records creating agencies in this series has, there-fore, been taken as it stood in 1960. This material has been dealt with in 11 chapters, thereby ensuring that each ministry is treated individually and separately. Further, these have been arranged alphabetically and do not in any way indicate the importance of re-cords of one ministry over the other. Each chapter gives the genesis of the present set-up, its organizational history, and functional changes from time to time. A list of some important documents of Indian and international importance with their references has also been appended. It is felt that this would permit the users to know the nature of the documents that might be available in each ministry as also to assess their importance. Bulk of records of each record series in a ministry has as well been given to facilitate the reader in getting an idea of the quantum of records that could be profitably perused. It is hoped that this series of Guide would be a useful tool in the utilization of the rich collection of record holdings of the National Archives of India and help in promoting historical research.

Introduction 'Guide to the Sources of Asian History' is a part of UNESCO's comprehensive project 'Guide to the Sources of the History of Nations' initiated in 1959 in collaboration with the International Council on Archives. The Asian part of the project was, however, inaugurated at a planning meeting held at Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) during 2-6 July 1979, where the modalities of compiling the National Guide were discussed. After having participated in the Kuala Lumpur meeting India virtually launched the project in June 1984, with the constitution of an Advisory Committee, which deliberated and set the guide-lines for preparing the Indian Chapter of the 'Guide to the Sources of Asian History'. History'. Of the twelve Asian countries participating in the Project India has been allocated country number '3' for its Guides.
