The National Archives of India is the repository of the non-current records of the Government of India and is holding them in trust for the use of administrators and scholars. It is an Attached Office of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. It was set up on 11 March 1891 in Calcutta (Kolkata) as the Imperial Record Department. With the subsequent transfer of the National Capital from Calcutta to New Delhi in 1911, it was shifted to its present building at the crossing of Janpath and Rajpath in 1926.
The IHRC since its inception has held 63 Sessions and has contributed significantly to the growth of public interest in the conservation and use of archives.
As part of the Resolutions adopted at the 63rd Session of IHRC held at Lucknow from 18-19 December 2023, it was unanimously agreed that the IHRC should adopt a Logo and Motto to visually communicate the unique identity of IHRC and what it represents.
A well-designed Logo and Motto of The Indian Historical Records Commission (IHRC) would quickly attract viewers’ attention and communicate its core value in an interesting way. It can pique the interest of the public and invite them to learn and know about the IHRC.
