Chhattisgarh Archival Project

Chhattisgarh Archival Project (CAP) is dedicated to documenting, preserving, and providing open access to photographs, films, documents, and cultural heritage of Chhattisgarh.

About Us

There are stories that never made it into textbooks. Voices that were never recorded in official registers. Neighbourhoods that were razed before anyone thought to photograph them. Festivals that faded quietly with the generation that last celebrated them. The Chhattisgarh Memory Project exists because of those stories.
