Bihar to conserve over one crore historical paper documents at State Archives
Hindustan TimesThe Bihar government has planned conservation measures for important and confidential historical paper documents for a better and long-lasting life. According to the people familiar with the matter, one crore files and folios at the Bihar State Archives in Patna and at its regional centres in Bhagalpur, Darbhanga and Bettiah, will be given a chemical cleaning treatment, deacidification and tissue lamination. Besides, through these documents, we have also been able to perceive the socio-cultural and political implications of Gandhi’s visit to Champaran and his Satyagraha during the British period,” Suman Kumar, director, BSA, said. He added that even though these documents have been preserved at the archives in the best possible ways, papers tend to get pale and brittle over a period of time and need conservation measures.
