The rare pictures on display are among the hundreds that will be stored, along with significant documents, in the Amol Home Digital Archive. The collections include a photograph of a pensive Gandhiji at Keoratala during Chittaranjan Das’s cremation.

The archive has been named after scholar Amal Home, who used to edit the Calcutta Municipal Gazette when its publication started in 1924.
