The series looks at the woeful state of many Indian archives and libraries, and what is being done to improve the situation: http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/20/in-india-history-literally-rots-away/ Best regards, Dinyar -- Dinyar Patel Ph.D. Candidate, Modern South Asia Department of History Harvard University +91 88796 00407 -- Daniel Fandino History Graduate Student University of Central Florida www.wiredhistory.com
