The house was earlier the residence of the historian Jadunath Sarkar (from 1938-1958), and later the place where the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta began in 1973 and had all its offices and units until March 2000. The idea of lending a new lease of life to this building and creating a composite library, archives and display complex came out of a grant received in 2010 from the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, under its ‘Museum Scheme’. It has given the CSSSC a wonderful opportunity to have the premises professionally restored and redesigned, to bring back to the house a semblance of its former appearance and history, while also equipping it with all the contemporary amenities of a library, archive, documentation centre, office, conference and exhibition space . It has brought together under one roof the Centre’s special collection of rare books, journals, newspapers and photographs as well as its large analogue and digital archive of textual and visual material from 19th and 20th century Bengal and eastern India . read more JBMRC ARCHIVES ACCESS FEES FOR USERS Important announcement regarding revised rates of JBMRC archives access fees. open View all History The house was the former residence of the eminent historian, Sir Jadunath Sarkar (1870-1958).
