Tata Central Archives

I admit it. I didn't even know this was a thing. But wow, the Tata Central Business Archives seem like an awesome source for researching the Tata role in urban planning and modern architecture. I wish I'd known about this when I was in Bangalore, it would have been a fantastic follow-up to my time spent at IISc.

I hope the research experience is as nice is person as it is on the web.

A review of the State Archives of West Bengal in the Fresh From the Archives section on Dissertation Reviews, written by someone working on an architecture/landscape project. Choice quote: "Historians enthused by the oscillating, isolating, frustrating and Derridean experiences of archival forays will thrive in this research room."

National Archives of India

An update to my 2009 post by Willy Logan, based on his March 2015 experience.

I was pleased to see during my last visit to Delhi how much easier and less stressful travel was by metro. Research is so much more pleasant when you arrive at the archive relaxed after an easy journey.

Other archives discussed by Logan:

• Resources in Assam
• National Library of India
• Nehru Museum and Library (Teen Murti)
