The National Archives of India is a repository of the non-current records of the Government of India and is holding them in trust for the use of administrators and scholars. The National Archives is situated at the Inter-section of Janpath and Rajpath, in Delhi. It is an attached Office of the Department of Culture under Ministry of Tourism & Culture. It was set up in March 1891 in Calcutta (Kolkata) as the Imperial Record Department and subsequent to the transfer of the National Capital from Calcutta to New Delhi in 1911 it was shifted to its present building in 1926.
