Message from Honorable Dy. CM
Welcome to Delhi Archive's Web-Portal! Delhi government's Delhi Archives hosts a fascinating collection of over four crore images, maps and other archival documents, dating back to the year 1803. The precious heritage at the Delhi Archives is in the process of being digitized through state-of-the-art technology and methods. This is a path-breaking initiative by the Delhi government, both in terms of the volume of documents being digitized as well as technology used.
So far, nearly two crore documents have been scanned, out of which, sixty lac documents have been meticulously tagged, uploaded and ready to be accessed online. More documents will be added to the archive portal every day. I am happy to share that Team Delhi Archives is working round the clock to ensure the project is completed on schedule.
