Nehru Archive Digitizes 75,000 Pages of Historical Documents
The Nehru Archive is a digital collection of 75,000 pages of Jawaharlal Nehru's letters, speeches, and other documents.
It was created by the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund (JNMF) and Oijo Media to make these important historical materials easy to access and search.
The archive includes letters to leaders, public speeches, prison diaries, pictures, and cartoons.
The project took over a year to complete and involved scanning and tagging each page manually.
The website is free to use and aims to disseminate knowledge about Nehru and the history of modern India.
Future updates will include letters to Nehru, books by and about him, photos, audio files, and movies.
