The Centre of South Asian Studies archives contain rare materials covering a period of over 200 years, which include 600 written collections, 900 maps, 100,000 photographs, and 80 collections of cinéfilms. They comprise a unique collection covering all aspects of life in South Asia, painting a rich and textured picture of the British Raj and the early decades of post-colonial South Asia.
Mary Thatcher laid the foundation of the archive between 1968 and 1981. Her task was to create an archive of the British in South Asia, and she was specifically asked not to collect the papers of ‘anyone famous’ (these went to the British Library). As a result of her work, we gained approximately 500 collections of papers detailing the life and work of lesser-known figures, and this focus gives our collection a particular intimate sense of lives lived during the Raj, and of the workings of the lower echelons of the colonial state and state-supported commercial enterprises. Her successors, Dr Lionel Carter and Dr Kevin Greenbank, have since added over 100 further collections to the archives.
The archive attracts distinguished scholars from the world over, who often participate in the Centre’s research seminar and the intellectual life of the University. They represent a significant, and singular, asset to the Centre and the University, and the the community of scholars interested in the region, in Cambridge and beyond. Our archival expertise is now being deployed to build links, transfer skills and partner with emerging archives in India and Pakistan.
The archives are available whenever the Centre is open.
