Overview
- The launch makes roughly 35,000 documents and about 3,000 illustrations—spanning some 77,000 pages from 1903 to 1964—freely accessible at nehruarchive.in.
- Materials range from correspondence and speeches to interviews, administrative notes, diary entries and doodles, with facsimiles available alongside digital text.
- From volume 44 onward, Nehru’s speeches appear in the original Hindi with English translations, expanding access to primary texts in multiple languages.
- JNMF says the next phase seeks incoming letters from global repositories and will add photos, audio and video, acknowledging gaps in exchanges such as Churchill–Nehru and Tagore–Nehru.
- Project leaders will accept privately held items if offered but will not solicit them, and early highlights include letters detailing Nehru’s differences with Punjab CM Partap Singh Kairon over Chandigarh funding.
