KINNAIRD ARCHIVE CENTRE (KAC)

Established in January 2016, Kinnaird Archive Centre is the first-of-its kind digital repository of Kinnaird College for Women. The Archive was envisioned by the Principal to preserve and showcase the rich history of South Asia’s premier women’s institution. With examples like the Ruskin College, it was feared that in time documents and photographs responsible for recreating the collective memories of the College will be lost into oblivion.

The aim of the Centre is to develop a rich and meaningful audio-visual archive showcasing the century old legacy of Kinnaird and its contribution in educating and empowering thousands of women since its inception in 1913. The Kinnaird Archive Centre is a model initiative collecting pieces of Kinnaird’s legacy through official records, photographs, newspapers, oral history interviews, books, audio-visual materials and other publications.

Using state-of-the-art technology, the Kinnaird Archive Centre has digitized over 13,000 archival images which are available to current and prospective students, College alumni, faculty members and independent researchers for non-commercial research and artistic endeavors. The Kinnaird Archive Centre is a growing repository and we hope to employ our archives in the future to produce publications, curate thematic shows and setup a public museum to celebrate the legacy and character of Kinnaird College for Women.
