The growth of the archives dates back to the year 1860. Since then the growth has been manifold.

• However, when Professor G.W. Forrest was given the task of reviewing the documents kept by the Government of India, things started to take a more tangible form.
• In 1939, records were made available for legitimate inquiry for the first time, and by 1947, all documents were accessible.
• To investigate issues pertaining to conservation, a research lab was also formed.
• They moved to advancement after independence to take a more active and motivating position in the nation's repository field.
• The department reached its 125-year milestone in March 2015.
