ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA. [REPORTS] NEW IMPERIAL SERIES, V. 1-54.
Zug, Switzerland: Inter Documentation,
597 fiche
The New Imperial Series includes archaeological work in India from 1874 to 1937. In 1871, the newly established Department of the Archaeological Survey of India began a country-wide search for all architectural and other remains characterized by their antiquity, beauty, or historic interest. In this series, James Burgess, responsible for the western districts, concentrates his attention on special classes of monuments, such as the Buddhist caves of western India, the Kankali Tila mound at Mathura, and the antiquities of the Bidar and Aurangabad districts. With the retirement of the director, Alexander Cunningham, in 1885 and the assumption by Burgess of the directorship, surveys of northern and southern India were placed in this series. The reports are monographic in format. Half of those issued between 1874 and 1902 were written by Dr. Burgess. In the early years, the survey teams focused on the discovery of Buddhist monuments. In later years this expanded to the documentation of Brahmanic, Jaina, and Islamic monuments.
Archaeological Survey of India. ANNUAL REPORT, 1902/03-.
Zug, Switzerland: Inter Documentation,
394 fiche
Annual reports of the Archaeological Survey of India discuss conservation and restoration work undertaken that year, descriptions of newly explored sites, excavations, new finds, and epigraphy. From 1904 to 1934 John Marshall held the post of Director-General of the Department. During this period the excavations at Harappa and Mohenjodaro revolutionized the perception of Indian civilization and culture. The results of the excavations confirmed that in the third millennium before Christ, the peoples of the Punjab and Sind had developed a relatively mature culture. The reports for 1902/03 to 1920/21 are arranged in two parts: administrative and scientific. Beginning in 1921/22, the reports include those of the various provincial archeological circles, formerly published separately.
Microfiche 1-15 contain an index to years 1902 to 1929. A table of contents and a list of plates appears at the beginning of each volume for 1930 to 1937.

ASI MICROFICHE LIBRARY
Bethesda, Md: Congressional Information Service, 1974.
Statistics collected and published by federal and quasi-federal agencies are included in this collection. Social, economic, and demographic data from major statistics collection agencies, as well as data collected by regulatory agencies, congressional committees, presidential commissions and boards, and judicial offices, make this a comprehensive source. Bibliographical notes in the index indicate whether the item is part of the government depository library program or is a non-depository item. Ellis Library receives only the microfiche designated non-depository. Because the Superintendent of Documents classification number is listed, the index helps locate paper copies in the depository collection also.
