The Punjab Archives was established in 1924. It preserves Government records and provides access to its vast holdings of cultural and historical materials to researchers from home and abroad. The records in the Punjab Archives date back to 17th century and cover the Pre-Colonial, Colonial and Post-Independence era in South Asia. The archival holdings number more than seven million files of unique documents and rare books. These records officially belong to Punjab Government, dating back to the year 1629. Punjab Archives and Chughtai Public Library joined hands to preserve this heritage through digitization of this valuable collection which would encourages openness, cultivate public participation and make them freely available to the public.
