The _Indian Memory Project_ was founded in February 2010 by Anusha Yadav. It is an online, curated, visual and oral-history-based archive that traces a personal history of the Indian subcontinent, its people, cultures, professions, cities, development, traditions, circumstances and their consequences. Using images, letters and stories from family archives (submitted and collected from contributors), it reconstructs a visual history that is emotionally rich, vivid, informative and even more surprising than we think.

Family/personal archives of photographs and letters hold a treasure trove of incredible and historically valuable information. They contain astonishing secrets, and when they reveal themselves via narratives they become the missing links to a country’s emotional and personal history. A past that we can actually feel, connect with and wonder at. The _Indian Memory Project_ is now also on the lookout for the notable, the interesting, the personal and not so personal.

To all people of the world who have contributed and will continue to do so, images, letters, narratives and their generous support to help build this powerful, valuable archive & resource.
