Books

Sindh Archives has been maintaining a library. It comprises more than 40,000 books which are mainly related to the history of Sindh in particular and sub continent in general. This library is divided in two parts:

  1. Reference Library: It comprises books/journals procured by Sindh Archives.
  2. Personal Libraries: It include personal libraries of notables acquired by Sindh Archives.
Reference Library

The Reference Collection includes a variety of materials that are intended to be consulted for specific information rather than reading from cover to cover. For this reason, reference books are for use in the Library only. They include such items as encyclopedias, handbooks, indexes, bibliographies, dictionaries and yearbooks.
The collection encompasses books in following categories:
