Abstract: A collection of fragmented administrative documents, primarily from the late 1940s, related to the All-India Muslim League and its associated bodies. The pages include handwritten and typed lists featuring names of individuals, titles (e.g., Nawab, Begum, Mian), corresponding monetary amounts (in Rs.), and locations. The documents appear to be financial registers, donation records, subscription lists, or membership rolls from various local and divisional Muslim League offices, Anjumans, and committees across regions like Bengal, Bihar, Assam, and the nascent East Pakistan. Some pages include dates, check numbers, and institutional headings.

Description: This assemblage of documents provides a rare, ground-level view of the Muslim League's organizational machinery during and immediately after the Partition of India. Unlike formal correspondence, these pages represent the operational backbone of the movement—tracking funds, members, and local support. The lists, often hastily written, include notable titles and common names, suggesting a broad base of contributors and members. The prevalence of records from 1947-1948 highlights the intense organizational activity during the transition to Pakistan. The fragmented and mixed nature of the pages indicates they are likely from a larger file of administrative papers, offering invaluable insight into the movement's logistics, funding, and regional network at a critical historical juncture.
