and press clippings (this process will help in systematizing and preserving its rich and unique

resource in the field of international affairs, while making them easily available for researchers

and experts in the field of world affairs in India and abroad). The content pages of all issues of

India Quarterly (1945-2008) has been digitized which can now be browsed on the web site.
