The Museum of National Archives of India was conceptualised in the 50s to make the archival heritage of India accessible to general masses. It was formally inaugurated on 8th July, 1998. On the advice of Government of India, a re-organisation of the Museum is underway. It is not a Museum in the technical term, but is a show-window to the Department of Archives, Government of India as prior to 1996, only research scholars with due permissions were allowed to access the archival collections of the Museum and not all. In 1996, based on the recommendations of Shri Sukumar Sarkar, then regional Director, the decision was taken to publically display the archival heritage of the Department to public.

The museum has archival material.
