About
The National Archives of India (NAI) is a repository of the non-current records of the Government of India and holds them in trust for the use of administrators and scholars.
It was originally established as the Imperial Record Department in 1891, in Calcutta, the capital of British India.
In 1911 the Department was transferred to the new capital, New Delhi.
It functions as an attached Office of the Department of Culture under the Ministry of Culture.
In 1998 it was declared as the "Museum of the National Archives" and opened to the general public.
This museum provides a representative overview of the multifarious holdings of the National Archives, and promotes a common man's interest in archival holdings.
