The Library-cum-Documentation
Centre of the ICHR has over the years developed into
a fairly large and well-informed reference library.
It has a collection of approximately 67,000 books/journals
and regularly subscribes to approximately 110 foreign
and Indian journals/periodicals.
The Library also provides reprographic
services. During the period under report, approximately
8,700 exposures were made available to scholars and
researchers at a nominal rate of 50 paisa per page.
The Library purchased about 778 books
published in recent times largely on Indian history
and allied disciplines, including reference books and
books relating to the history of Asia and neighbouring
countries.
The Library has been extending reading,
reference and consultation services to scholars. About
1,585 visits were made by scholars during the period
under report to the Library from various universities/institutions
pursuing studies on various aspects of historical research.
The Library-cum-Documentation Centre
is fully computerized and is a member of the DELNET
(Delhi Library Networking). And by virtue of having
secured membership of JSTOR, the Library has access
to unaffordable journals as well as rare and old numbers
of historical journals.
The reading room of the ICHR Library is kept open from
9.30 am to 5.30 pm on all days, with the exception of
Sundays and gazetted holidays. Scholars are welcome
to offer suggestions for the improvement of the Library.
