New Delhi: The Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund has unveiled a new mobile-friendly digital archive, nehruarchive.in, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh announced on Thursday (November 20).

According to Ramesh, the platform offers an easily searchable and freely downloadable collection initially centred on the 100 published volumes of the Selected Works of Nehru, covering the years 1903 to 1964. The Nehru archive currently hosts more than 75,000 pages and over 3,000 illustrations.

He underlined that the repository will continue to grow, with plans to incorporate additional text, photographs, audio recordings, and films. Archives worldwide that have letters to and from Nehru are being contacted to widen the collection, and books written by and on Nehru during his lifetime will also be added.
